Default wiryjoe replacement wiring harness

Looking thru my parts stash, i find a couple of wiryjoe wiring harness. Never heard much about them. They look fine compared to others. Just wondered if anyone has used them and if they are as good as others. Thanks Ron

They were a good replacement back in the day and if the insulation doesn't crack when flexed, they would be fine. I know of several cars that are running the WireyJoe harnesses that were installed years ago. I personally use Chris Olson in Bend for new wiring.

The harness i removed from my 35 was a Wiry joe. It was not correct as compared to the BAUER which was patterned from a Ford original per Chris Olsen.
Although it was functionally correct.

Those Wirey Joe harnesses have not been made for years. If they have been folded up for a long time I suspect when unfolded the insulation will crack. I see them at swap meets periodically and haven't noticed anyone buying them. If you need a wire harness just buy a new one. With wiring I personally would not chance using an old harness that has sat around for years.
