When I got my 1968 Cardinal, I considered "rewiring" with "new stuff", assuming the "old stuff Cessna used" was inferior.

  

 My (deceased) friend looked at it and laughed at me.  He said it was fine (not burned or cracked, pliable, etc.), and the problems I would create by the rewiring greatly outweighed his assessment of any deficiency in the wiring.  He started in the business fixing mismatched wiring looms in new B52's, avionics install type work in military aircraft, set the nuclear fuses in fighter bombers ("go down to the end of the runway and when you come back we will send the pilot down to fly out"), and ended with a top secret conning tower clearance in ballistic missile subs as field engineer.

  

 I figured he knew a lot about safe wire, so I just kept the old Cessna wiring...  Skip Simpson
