Happy new year all!

In the middle of a ground-up on a 74. Car is pretty clean but looking at the wiring. Looks clean as well. No chafing etc. Replacing the relays and cleaning the board etc.

Is wiring ever too old? Don't want to go through all this only to have to tear it all out with the engine in the way etc.

Car was a summer car in VT so no exposure to salt air etc.

Thanks in advance!

I would definitely unwrap, clean and check all the wires to make sure you have no breaks, wear marks and then re-wrap it before installing it. Look for added on wiring and connectors thatch be removed and the harness repaired. Stereo/alarm installers of the 70's and beyond are notorious for ruining harnesses.
