1947 Wiring Harness Recommendations

I posted a while back about trying to get my custom super clipper running again. The entire dash and wiring was taken apart before me. I was able to connect the coil and got the motor to turn over, seems like a fuel pump issue. I’m guessing my next step would be to just replace the wiring harness? Instead of just reconnecting the old one?? My car is not in the best shape but the body is over all solid. I’m looking for suggestions on the best place to get one for the dash and engine harness. I looked at Rhode Island Wiring Service, around $740. Didn’t know if this was a good price or not. Where do you guys recommend? Currently living on a college budget lol. Thanks for any help.

Thanks HH56 the pictures will come in handy. My dash and instruments are in boxes, with loose wires coming in from the firewall so the pictures of what wires go where is very helpful. We could never find the screws that originally held it together. My uncle had originally pulled the dash to do wood grain, but with how long the car has set, I figured it would be best to put back the pieces and see if I can get the car at least running. Overall the interior is pretty rough so I figured I would try to address the cosmetic issues later on as time goes on. Do you think a new wiring harness is required or could I use the old one for the time being? Just wanting to make sure the motor is able to start.

Is there any photos or more information you have on doing this? I just acquired a 1947 Clipper and the dash and all the instruments have been taken apart. Im just trying to get it back together and running but haven't found many leads on the best method to approach.
Thank you!
