Cliff;
It looks as though we have the same good taste in
cars. Regarding your problem, as a temporary measure, I would replace the wires
from the cowl foward and splice them into the existing wiring under the
dash. I would recommend handling replacing each strip at a time and
try to match the existing colour codes so you can folow the diagram later
on. The wire in these cars was of good quality when it was new, heat
in the engine compartment is what breaks the insulation down, even modern vinyl
covered wire will start to go bad under these conditions. Most of the wire
from the cowl back, provide the rats didn't get at it, should be in better
shape, though the power window cables in the doors are usually toast from
bending too much.
