I have always run the modern day wiring inside the old style cloth and tar like flexible conduit. It comes in multiple sizes.

Does anyone know of a source for these?

Thanks for any help you can give ......

Tom. I have found in the past that you can find it at Napa Auto Parts stores.

I googled

asphalt impregnated cloth wiring harness cover

and got lots of hits. Plenty of suppliers-prices, sizes, etc.

I bought it from Joe's Antique Auto when I rewired my '39 p/u. Sells it by the foot and in larger size rolls IIRC.
