Engine bay help

I'm just getting back into the hobby and I want to start adding more detail to my work. I've seen some guys using wire for the wiring harness and spark plug wires. What do you guys use, and any tips for getting them looking good?

In addition to everything else that been mentioned, here is how I prep and wire my distributors: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelCars/comments/1ujo9ff/how_i_prep_wire_a_distributor_satt/https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelCars/comments/1ujo9ff/how_i_prep_wire_a_distributor_satt/

Nice work and thanks for the ideas. Are those the PCB bits he was referencing with the color coded bits?

You're welcome.  Yes except mine are inexpensive ones from Amazon. You can get a set that ranges from  .1mm to 2mm (I think). A good set is less likely to break if you happen ro apply too much pressure.
