How far away from power sources does this wire need to be? I am using the standard "flying loom" as supplied by Emearld so its shielded already. They advise to run it away from power sources, but dont define how far, and also to what level of power sources.

The only way I can get it away from all power sources is to run it up past the radiator and into the car that way round the engine vs probably the more practical route of round the front of the engine and up past the servo into the car / ECU.

Am running supercharger and brake servo which take up more room!

If both wires are shielded with seperate ground wires and points then you can run them side by side, however the further away from each other the better, its got to be realistic, the closer together the wires the greater the possibility of EMC issues as your crank signal works on electrical pulses, any serious magnetic interference will cause misfires.

Yep, its the standard Emerald flying loom as they call it, so the wires that you would use most are already terminated, other you add, but the crank sensor wire is already made up, and then sleeved. All I need to do is route, cut and attach the plug, which looks fun!
