Painting and rewiring my '86's engine bay

I'm finally getting some work done on my '86 Iroc. The original engine harness just had too much damage to it for me to feel good about it. I bought an excellent harness with matching computer and distributor from a fellow member here about a month ago. So I pulled all the old wiring and computer out and realized it would be a good time to clean up and repaint the engine compartment without all the wires in the way. I borrowed my friends pressure washer and thoroughly cleaned and degreased everything. Then I gave everything a light sanding to scuff it up. I taped up everything and I used 1 can of black rustoleum primer and 1 can of semi-gloss black. I think it turned out great.
I have started rewiring the car in these pics. I got the new computer in and wired and bout 25% of the engine hooked up. I still have some work to do there. I'm ordering new overflow and windshield washer cans too. Well here's the pics so far.
