First, thanks to everyone for your excellent feedback. My project is a 73 SD455 T/A, and it is undergoing a rotisserie restoration. My thought in using the original wiring was to maintain originality. Based on my experience with previous projects (67 GTO, 70 T/A, 71 T/A, multiple Corvettes) is that repop parts, though shiny and new, often do not precisely match the originals. When it comes to wiring, I've decided to say the hell with originality. I will replace everything and save the time refurbishing the old stuff and avoid the possibility of an electrical fire.
