Looking for a complete wire tuck how to w/pics

As the title states, I am looking for a complete wire tuck how to for the engine bay with pics. I did a search but either my search skills are limited or there is no write up for this.

I have done the relocation of the throttle cable some time ago but I want to get a cleaner looking engine bay. I have seen a few pics with a completed wire tuck, but cannot find a how to.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

I did mine in 4-5 hours of taking my time. Didn't extend any wires. Did shorten a few. It is not a full wire tuck but seperates the wires in the right direction. Just pull all the wire loom off, run the plug to the object(injector, etc) take out as much as you feel is the safe way of running it, and do it with all the plugs and then wrap them in loom or tape running under or around anything in the way.

start

Halfway through


As it is a week later. I am trying to convert to speed density to get rid of intake and move fuse box where the filter is, and the wires on the motor are all out of the one loom and branch off. Not a full tuck, but one enough to where I am happier then looms all over the place.

wire tucks do look good. but at times you do lose lots of randomness. i.e. wwiper fluid etc.
