Black plastic wrapping isn?t original. It should be a cotton braided loom.

The car is a BN6 No. 2344. Moss list a change to the Wire harness
somewhere around 3459. Cannot find an explanation of why the change. The
harness that came of was PVC with black plastic wrapping which I thought
was original. would like to be as close as possible to original.
Thanks
Gerry

Depends upon what you are trying to achieve.
If you want to end up with a driver (20 foot) car that Aunt Mary describes
as "cute" then whatever works will be just fine.
If you are looking to end up with something that someone with some
knowledge of classic car restoration will appreciate then replace the
harness with one that closely replicates the original.
You don't mention what model of Healey you are working on but originally it
would have had cloth covered wire with a cloth covering on the harness (Pre
Oct 58) or PVC insulated wires with a cloth harness outer cover after tht
date.

Looking for an point of view. should one replace the wire harness that
is braided or try to follow the original that appears to be PVC and
banded together with black rap. The original is not that bad but again
not that good.
thanks
can some who is on the MGT list know how to get on it?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
