Re: Wire Harness for 5677 Executive

Yes, but I didn't use a replacement harness made for a Packard. I use a aftermarket GM style street-rod harness for a couple of reasons.

1) All the original wiring was rat chewed
2) I wanted the extra circuit for power windows, locks, AC and etc
3) Converted to 12, so the thicker gauge 6v harness was not required.
4) I'm a cheap bastard.

You probably going to spend around $1,200 for a reproduction "Packard" harness. Plus figure another $400-$500 in labor for a shop to reinstall it for you. Also depending on the routing on the '56 cars, part of the headliner may have to get pulled loose to run the rear harness. So figure that into the calculations also.

Replacing a harness is not a pleasant job to do on a assembled car. Not trying to be doom and gloom, just giving you the straight facts so you know what to expect.
