4.1
Familiarize yourself with the harness by locating each of the harness sections in the following list.
Whenever a particular harness section is referred to in these instructions it is shown all caps.
4.1.1
The two SECTIONS of the 50001
10
-Circuit Competition Wire Harness Kit are listed immediately
following. The 50201/50202
10
-Circuit Switch Panel wire assignments are not separated
into SECTIONS.

4.4
A good exercise is to lay out the wire harness on the floor beside your automobile and identify all the
SECTIONS.
4.5
You will want to route the harness through and around open areas. Inside edges provide extra
protection from hazards and also provide places for tie wraps, clips and other support.
4.6
Route the harness away from sharp edges, exhaust pipes, and hood, trunk and door hinges.
4.7
Plan where harness supports will be located. Use a support every 12 inches unless the harness routes
under the floor carpet.
4.8
Allow enough slack in the harness at places where movement could possibly occur (body to frame,
frame to engine, etc.).
4.9
At wire ends, don't depend on the terminals to support the harness. The weight of the harness could
cause terminals to disconnect.
4.10
The wires should be bundled into harness groups. Use nylon ties, poly split loom, or tape.
4.11
GROUNDING THE AUTOMOBILE
A perfectly and beautifully wired automobile will nevertheless have problems if everything is not
properly grounded. Don't go to the careful effort of installing a quality wire harness only to neglect proper
grounding.
4.11.1
Connect a Ground Strap or Cable (even a 10-gauge wire is too small) from the Negative Battery
terminal to the automobile chassis (frame).
4.11.2
Connect a Ground Strap from the Engine to the chassis. DO NOT RELY UPON THE MOTOR
MOUNTS TO MAKE THIS CONNECTION.
4.11.3
Connect a Ground Strap from the Engine to the Body.
4.11.4
If you have a fiberglass body you should install a terminal block to ground all your gauges, lights,
and accessories. Ground the Terminal Block and everything connected to it will be grounded.
