RE: Wiring harness wrap

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

I bought the correct wire wrap from Eastwoods.  

The wiring is wrapped even when it is not readily visible (like under 
the dash) to keep the wiring together so that it is not falling all over 
the place.  Tie wraps would do the same thing but they were not invented 
back in 65.

I also went to an electrical supplier and bought "friction tape" for the 
portions of the headlight wiring that goes through the rad support and 
is just behind the headlights.  

Basically I matched what was originally there. 

A lot of folks simply buy the wire loom from a parts supplier and stick 
the wiring in.  Works good, easy to do, readily available although not 
stock looking for the periods of our cars.
