Starting to pull wires on this beast and have a few questions. I have no problem landing all the wires as I have 40 years as a control electrical engineer. I am trying to find pictures of how the wires are run. This is no where near original so I am not being anal. But want to stay somewhere between the lines.
Headlight harness run down the side of block or tuck into the frame channel?

Re: 26/27 wiring
A little research and I found I landed the harness backwards. Headlights go on the last 2 terms on the right. That routes them right according to harness length and what Dallas said. Just need some pics of clamps. Or should I use wire ties?

Re: 26/27 wiring
Looking for past discussions, I don't know what is correct either but....

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Factory used clips on the upper frame rail, two-part clip. Bolts and nuts hold them to holes in the frame rail, they jut out from the hood aprons.
Clips too on the fire wall.
