The insulation on my 1980's wiring harness was beginning to crack. The LL harness was an exact replacement. The harness from the 66 will have it's own problems with deterioration in addition to the physical fit differences between the C2 and C3.

Those harnesses are approaching forty years old. I would get a new harness from Lectric Limited and save yourself a lot of pain and suffering.

Buy a new harness. I wouldn't even consider messing with an old harness. I've bought a few old hanesses in my time, but I have just used them for parts, connectors, clips, etc. Chuck

:iagree: :iagree: Don't risk burning up the car to save a few bucks. Buy a new one and you should be good for another 30 years. Try Last Detail as a good source for Lectric Limited.
