I've been successful so far in making progress and getting parts for it, and I plan to continue. It is currently not running, as there are wiring issues. I used to use this site as a guest, and it was incredibly useful. I figured I'd register and get the best out of it! https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/classicoldsmobile.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/image_67175425_6186a9e1f85fcd818567cc25090e44e5984a135c.jpg

Charlie, THANK YOU for this ! I had been searching for new wiring for my 49 Club Coupe and 57 two door. They aren't cheap, you are correct. But you'll only pay for it once.

They advertise in Hemmings Motor News a lot. Have for many years.
I would have bought the harness for my '63 from them, but they only offer harnesses up to 1959.
I had to re-wrap and repair my original harness.
