Believe it or not your Corvette's original wiring harness had a service life of only 10 years. If your 1953-1955 is still utilizing it's original wiring harness you have exceeded the service life of your Corvette's electrical harness by over 40 years. When we hear people telling us that their vintage Corvette's original wiring harness is still in "great shape" we have to disagree. Many people feel they can recondition their Corvette's original harnesses by simply cleaning and re-taping them. That couldn't be further from the truth. It all comes down to the issue of deterioration. There is no practical way to completely seal off the circulation of air and moisture between individual strands in a wire. Additionally, most automotive wiring is not protected from hydrocarbon contamination.
