Default Hellllp! Wire tuck... What about that ONE wire?

I'm doing a wire tuck on my 72 and there's one stinking wire that runs out of
The harness, crosses under the frame and runs under the pulley cover.. What the hell can I do with it w/o taking off my exhaust and pulley cover?

if its the one im thinking about. you can unplug it, pull the plastic clips out of their holes. then pull as much slack as you can and go above the back bone. If you look underneath the neck there are two vertical slots. I zip tied mine to that.



I can take a pic of the other side if need be. Oh and I put the horn wires on the left side also.
