Today's fun was cleaning up the wiring harness and figuring out where to start repairing it.

Everywhere the green tape is at is where a wire was melted to nearby wires.

A previous owner cut the gray wire here and spliced in something. Does anyone have any ideas on This?
I have cut the wire between the fuse panel in the car and the snorkel but everything after that is encased and I am hoping not to have to cut in to it to repair things. I will be running carbs but was hoping some day to put the FI back one day.

Got the Eastwood treatment in the tunnel (you can kind of see the green in the tunnel in the picture above) I treated all the other surfaces inside the car that were not treated. Now waiting for it to dry completely. The high temps this week should help. I have been keeping a fan running to help the drying

Picked up a new wiring harness in great shape to replace my melted harness. I will be working on it tomorrow but the forecast is calling for a high of 107. Hopefully I won't melt working in it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Got the old harness out and compared it to the 2 I picked up hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately they did not match up but it did have the needed wires all intact.

Made some progress today. Went through every wire in the harness pulled the wires that I needed from the donor harness and started putting them in my harness to replace the damaged ones.

Engine is getting closer to being done. Now I need to figure out what transmission to use. I have the one from the 73 that I think will be the upgrade. I will be asking for advice on this swap in a separate thread.
