What is the cleanest way to split power among 6-7 sources? About the same amount of grounds as well.

I want to clean up the gauge wiring on my 74.

The easiest ways are to get a power distribution block (Audio shop & with or without an additional fuse block) and set up a ground bus system. For examples and stuff see the Electrical Forum on STF.

E-Z Wiring harnesses, thru "Summit" work great also, and not too pricey @ $165.00

Have installed a few in some street rods here and there. They're pretty easy and straight forward.

Probably easier than trying to sort thru the factory mess of spaghetti under the hood.
