any ideas on how to revive old wires that are stiff and could possible break? I want to reuse this old engine harness but it has lost most of its flexibility
new life for old wires

They are not only history but very dangerous. Do yourself a favor, if they are brittle, replace with a used harness at the very least. Every restoration I do gets a new engine harness regardless, all the other harnesses get rebuilt. Once the wires get brittle, they will crack and can lead to a short.
