Used Wiring Harnesses

[RogerK]

I'm currently re-wiring my engine compartment section by section. I've performed the Mad Ammeter bypass, installed a square back alternator and I plan on installing relays for the headlights, parking lights, horn and a few other items. The goal is to replace all the thin wiring with better gauge and better grounds at the same time.

Part of my plan was to use parts of my spare engine harness. I pulled it out tonight and while looking at it found it to be intact with no breaks in the insulation and perfectly usable for anyone who needs a better uncut harness. I mean, I can bend the various wires and they just bend, no cracks.

I'm thinking "I Can't Cut This Up!", so I checked various threads here and found that while there were a few listed for various cars they just weren't selling.

Before I spend time taking pictures, formatting them, uploading them and listing the harness for sale I have to ask.... It it worth it? Its out of a 1966 Barracuda 273 with a 904 AT.

Well I guess that answers that question. Thanks.

If the wire is good and the covering is pliable there is no reason not to reuse what you have.
If your running old loads off of new relays then run new wire on the load side and use old wire to control the relays.

Thanks, I have a whole new wiring diagram mapped out and I'm wiring a fuse & relay box as we speak. I was going to use the wires for the front parking lights and horns from the spare harness as well as the drivers headlight socket and create a complete forward harness prior to install.

I figured since the harness was serviceable I'd check the market and since there are new replacements that can be had I guess I'll go with plan A.
