Need help with wiring

I had recently bought a 85 camaro with a 355 swap, but the previous owner seemed to have completely half assed everything. The wiring is daisey chained and split. Theres no organization what so ever, pieces of it are showing bare wire, its just an absolute mess. He had the wiring so messed up that it melted the positive clamp for the wires to connect to the battery. This is my daily driver, and Im on a tight budget, so I was just thinking if there was a quick and easy(ish) solution? Is there a kit, or a wiring harness that I could get that would make it a lot easier to rewire this mess.

Find a replacement 85-86 carb engine harness

I would suggest removing it, opening it up and tracing all the patches but since its a DD, you likely dont have that kind of time

Re: Need help with wiring

Yeah, Im probably going to have to though. I melted yet another negative terminal. So I was thinking what about a EZwiring 21 harness? Would that work? So far EZ is the general consensus of guys from other forums that have had to basically do what Im going to do.
