[Mgs] New Wiring Harness

[Douglas Gaither]

Well,

Last night I was driving my '66B home from work when I noticed smelling
something unfamiliar.  After stopping by the supermarket, some guy informed
me that I had no tail lights at all.  Because I work late, I just crashed.
So today before I came to work I thought I'd check the rear wiring harness
to see if something came unplugged.  To my surprise a few of the wires had
melted their insulation off and melted the blue wire wrap.

After realizing that this "could" have started a fire, I decided to
install a new harness.  So I've been looking at the harness from Advance
Auto Wire.  It looks very comprehensive and well thought out.  So I have a
few questions...

1) Any one have any experience with the Advance Auto Wire harnesses?
http://www.advanceautowire.com/

2) Any suggestions for alternate locations for the new "Powerblock" (fuses &
relays)?

3) When Dan Masters (Advance Auto Wire founder) built his own custom MGB-GT
V8, he routed the wire through the sills.  Has anyone else done this? Ideas
for routing wiring inside the car rather than under it?  (

4) While I'm completing this project, what else should I consider doing?
I've thought about changing my wiper motor a newer 2-speed wiper (this is a
daily driver)

Thanks in advance
