I have a 64 Starfire in desperate need of new wiring.
The existing harness is melted in a few spots and I am tired of patching it.
I plan on using the existing wiring harness and making a copy of it to replace the existing one. Does anyone know where I could get a new fuse panel and i need to replace many of the connectors also.
I am sure I don't know what I am getting myself into..... but what the heck i am going to give it a shot.
I would appreciate any advice if anyone here has done this before.
Thanks

 

I am not sure if Fusick or Kanter sell wiring harnesses but you might check with them. Or you could go the the after-market route and buy something from someone like Painless.

 

I doubt an exact replacement fuse panel is available for your car. Is the fuse panel itself melted, or just the wires? You can remove the terminals in the fuse panel and replace them if necessary. The Packard 56 series terminals used in the 1960s are readily available from a number of sources:

Waytek also sells the proper crimping tools and automotive-grade wire. You can remove the terminals from the connectors using a small jeweler's screwdriver to depress the lock tabs.

I find that most people don't like dealing with wire harness. Personally I enjoy it.

 

Thanks for the info.
My fuse block is not melted but it is in rough shape due to water damage. It is very rusty.
I will see if I can clean it up a bit after I remove it. I will get a better idea of what shape it is in after it is removed.
If I replace the original fuse panel will that take away from the cars originality and lower the value?
