What is the proper plug wire routing to clear the fan belt? Thanks!

I answered my own question. I initially laid the cables outside the wire looms/tubes to see which length went to which plug. Once I fed the cables thru the tubes I see how they clear the fan belt. I thought it would be a b@:;: to feed the cables thru but they slid right in.

As long as you don't make the mistake of getting 9mm cables instead of 7mm, they generally go through pretty easy. A little wD40 helps.

One more question, how does the power feed to the generator route, alongside the spark plug cable tube on the outside?

Generator wires feed thru the conduit along side the ignition wires (field and armature) and while your doing all of that run a ground wire thru the conduit to connect the generator and the regulator together for ground. I am assuming you are using a two brush generator. If your generator is a three brush, then you have only one wire to run thru the conduit to connect the generator cutout and the battery. You can also use silicone spray to assist in feeding the wires thru the conduit.
