I,m replacing the head gaskets on a chevy engine. I will need to remove a number of fuel lines, vacuum lines and electrical wires. Does anyone have a foolproof way to mark them?

Thanks,
roadrunner614

Wrap the matching conections with masking tape...mark the same number, with magic marker,

Go to an electrical supply house. Get a "Wire marker" set. They are essentially tape with numbers on them. They are for marking multiple wires used in electrical applications. Also, the multi-colored wire ties sounds like it'll work well too.

For stuff that has to come off I use those big freezer bags you write on with magic marker. Won't fade like masking tape. If stuff doesn't have to come off, I use a tie wrap and hold it out of the way. When done, cut the tie wrap and the wire/hose will naturally fall back to its connector. As others have said, if you have a digital camera, it doesn't cost anything to use it. Be sure the flash is on, even outdoors.

I use colored plastic ties. If I don't have enough individual colors I leave some full length, some cut shorter. Matching tie on the pipe, etc. Digital pix of the setup as well, or diagram. Camera is also handy to send with Mrs. when she heads to the parts counter if I can't supply the exact part number.

I bought a pack of colored tape at hardware, comes in green,red etc. in a pack for a few bucks.Look in the electrical dept. I buy 3/4 inch and cut the rolls into 1/4 width to make them last and make them easier to work with

A piece of masking tape wrapped around the line, with a length of the tape left hanging, and an identifying number written with permanent marker. You might also take a picture before you start takin it apart. These new digital are really handy for such things.

I sometimes use paint markers from a hobby shop. They come in assortments of 3 or 4 colors, and if there are more lines to mark, you can use a combination of colors.

That being said, most vehicles have an emissions diagram somewhere under the hood, (if it hasn't fallen off) that show pretty clearly where everything goes.
