More forward progress today. Here are all the leads for under the cowl done, except for the wires that will go to the relocated fuel pump. I will finish these after I mount the pump.

I made some progress on the last section, that feeds all the front lights. Slow going due to lots of spots of PO red overspray.

You are doing some great work wow! How are you removing the paint from the wires? Does it remove the markings on the wires when you do it? My harness is in very bad shape similar to yours and I will have to go through this process like you are doing.

I have tried and use different things. The undercoating and greasy dirt come off easiest with GoofOff, but that does not work on paint. For light overspray, acetone works pretty well. For small spots of thicker paint (like between the original tape wrap), I scrape lightly with a new, sharp utility blade, and then use acetone. For really thick paint, I use a standard paint remover, but this does soften the sleeve material, so I use it carefully.

See the example below.

Onto the final section today, working towards the front lights. Here's some nasty PO red (and gold???) overspray.

That's it! The main harness all done, except for a few connectors that I will mount when I install the harness in the car.

While on a role, I attacked the ignition harness. This had a crimp connector in the middle of the power lead. In order to pull a new wire through the sleeve, I soldered it to the end of the old wire.

After squirting some soapy water in the first sleeve, I pulled the new wire through.

And then did the same with the second sleeve, to get the new wire to the multi-pin plug.

Here's the pin back in the correct hole in the plug (I hope).

And the ignition harness is ready to go (I will install the ring connector on the new wire when I have everything back on the engine).

I don't remember, have you used a continuity tester on each line to confirm first you have a good circuit and that you have the correct wire to each point?
Easiest to check while out.
Excellent work on the harness.

To be honest, I did some testing when I first inspected the harness, but found problems only where I could also see visible damage. After that I got lazy and did not test every wire or connector.
