Have you considered service loops? They help with strain releife. I Leave about 1/4 inch viewable wire

Post a pic of what you're working with and how you would like to run it. There are so many different ways this can be done, your question ends up being too broad.

Any suggestions on where to buy a cheap multi-position waterproof connector? I doesn't need to be Mil-Spec. Round would be nice but not necessary. i think i will have 40 connections from the ECU total.

I am not running a charcoal canister so I want to know how to remove this spout from my Skunk2 Alpha Series TB so I can plug it. Any ideas before I break it?

I was wondering if one of you guys wouldn't mind answering a question for me.I am in the process of switching from cbr coils to the new k series coils and I was just wondering if all the newer k coils use the same plug and if they will work with a b series coil plate or do they all have different lengths?I am not a k guy.Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yeah I did try it with a line and there was no way it was going to work, the bend needed to be pretty severe.
