Default Dash Wiring Harness

After racking my brain on getting a new dash wiring harness or not, I am looking for some opinions.

The current wiring harness in my 76' works, there is no issues with it. other than changing the bulbs and cleaning the contacts to all the gauges it works just fine. so, should I just go ahead and spend the money while my dash is apart and get a whole new kit, or do I just clean the contacts and change the bulbs, save $600 bucks? Spend the money elsewhere on my mild restoration?

If everything works I wouldn't spend the money on a new harness. I'm sure you can find other ways to spend it on your 76.

Just be sure to inspect the harness looking for bad insulation and maybe do a little re-taping if necessary.
