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 just went through a similar project this last summer, where-in I took an adapted harness from a 75 - 3.6 and transplanted it into my 70'. Granted, you don't need to remove the harness so the whole process is pretty straight forward. As other members mentioned, check for any splicing and rubbing and that the wires are flexible. This is a great time to un-tape certain sections, check underneath, clean and re-wrap. Though I eventually went a different route and applied 'safety sheathing', 914rubber.com sells a great tape that will leave the harness looking like new. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
