Hi Kenny,

Nice looking car! Congratulations on getting your project near completion.

I don't know any suppliers of complete new harnesses. There are so many year-to-year and model-to-model differences I doubt anyone would be able to provide you an exact match in any case. And DIY?? Whew - that would be tough. The wiring with original trace colors is available as raw stock (eagle day I think), but laying it out and making sure everything fit would be a hell of a job. Beyond me! If you really felt the need for a rewire I'd look for a good used harness from a similar year and modify as needed. They do show up for sale periodically.

I was fortunate that my wiring was mostly in decent shape. I replaced nearly all connectors, but left the main harness in place and intact. I needed to retrofit a slightly later engine bay harness (I got none with the car), but that was relatively easy, as it mainly entailed removing unneeded wires (and a couple rearrangements at the 14-pin connector).

I am using the original Marelli with stock (new) points and an MSD. It works great, and is a nice simplification from the original system.

Good luck finishing up! You should perhaps start your own thread to show off your project, and get more input on your questions.

Cheers,
Mike
