I used two lengths of trailer wiring. The 4 conductor flat cables, 16ga. Painted one side of one run red, and one side of the other run black. That way I could tell the wires apart at both ends. Snaked both runs in some moderately size heat shrink tubing, and then wound that conglomeration under the van from engine compartment to the dashboard. Running my oil pressure and temp sensors on 2 of the wires. Still pondering what to do with the other 6 wires - they'll be there if I ever think of something.
