Default 73' wiring help

Hi everyone,
I am currently pulling my hair out with a electrical problem iv'e been having for a couple months now, the car was originally running, so I diagnosed the problem and found out it was the ignition system. Since then i have replaced the stock distributor, coil, and ignition module, with all msd components, and it still will not run. I have now the belief that the wiring is bad, which is not a bad assumption because the wiring is a mess to begin with. So my question is this does anyone know where i can get a hold of a wiring harness for a 73' in the engine compartment or possibly the whole car? Forgot to mentioin it is a 73 but has a 77' 302 with electronic ignition. If you could help me with my school project that would be great. Thanks,

It may be easier to just pull the wiring harness and build your own. I did it over last winter and have a much safer harness. Running wiring under the engine where oil will soak it is not a good idea, not to mention the damage from engine heat over that many years.

I have a '73 convertible parts car that may have a decent harness. If you're interested, PM me and I'll get you in touch with my dad since it's stored at his place.
