Wiring harness refurbishing?

Hi all, I have a 1985 firebird 2.8l v6 (fuel injected) and have been struggling with the wiring since the beginning. I have all the wires harnesses pulled and was curious to see if there was a good place to send it in to get fixed up? I've seen the work TPI parts do but unfortunately they only do tpi v8's... Go figure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What sort of fixing up does it need?

You may be able to tackle most of it yourself, if it's not too hacked up.

But regular wear?

Insulation chafed through in spots? I'd brush on some liquid electrical tape.

Insulation cooked until it's a little hard and brittle, and you want to soften it up? Try lanolin.

Need to re-wrap the harness in the proper black vinyl (NOT electrical tape)?
