Went over the entire wiring harness today, bumper to bumper. No stone un-turned. Had a big eyebrow raised over this part of the project, thanks to Lucas.

I sanded and/or cleaned every connection and frame ground, and then applied dielectric grease to every one. Then zip tied everything in place. Even disassembled the zener diode and got it cleaned up and greased.

It was amazingly simple and all in excellent condition. I didn't break or damage a single connection. I also found no rubbed or frayed wires anywhere. Everything look tucked where it should live. Not even any shade tree splices or jumpers over the past 57 years. Weird. I figured the odds would be that someone would have done something to it along the way.

One thing Lucas did right was the color coding. Every color has its meaning and as opposed to the Japanese stuff I've worked on, all the colors matched. No "orange to green" connections anywhere. Inside the headlight looked brand new. I expected to find at least spider webs or something. It appeared showroom clean. This is starting to worry me......
