You have two choices, original or aftermarket.

For original replacement Dennis Carpenter, Macsautoparts, or TeeBird Products and others. These will replace your original wiring. There several separate components which must be purchased to complete the wiring. These kits are not cheap but they will restore your wiring with it original look and feel. The main harness is around $400.

Personally I prefer the aftermarket kits from KwikWire as these in my opinion have the best fuse terminal layout. Interestingly they also feature a kill switch on the fuse panel. The advantage of the later systems is that all circuits are fused whereas the original harness uses inline fuses on only a couple of components. There are other aftermarket kits available from Painless Wiring, American Autowire, classic auto wire, rebel wire. The KwikWire 8 wire system is around $140. The American Autowire is probably the most comprehensive. Their Highway 22 system is excellent quality with a very well made fuse panel which every circuit needs to be connected to.

I hope this gives you some ideas.

Ahh. my bad, the 8 circuit wiring is for car with higher heat and recistance. Beacause it is a 6 volt system the amp and recistance is higher...

If you are keeping the car 6volt you will need to go with the harnesses from the mainstream suppliers such as DC,Macs, etc.

Obviously the 12volt systems will have cabling generally 1/2 the gauge you need.

Why wouldn't you convert it to 12volt while you are at it unless you need to keep the car 100% original

The advantage of using the original replacements is that they will fit straight up using your original components.
