Once again, are you really that surprised after 37 years?? That's a pretty good run for a 16 gauge stranded wire.
With a '76 machine you might consider a new harness.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I don't replace things that aren't broken just for the sake of replacing. The harness in my 66 Mustang is ten years older and no problems such as that. Wire is only as good as the insulation an if the insulation becomes compromised there will be problems. Maybe all of the people should replace the wiring harnesses in the DC-3's they're flying as those harnesses are over 80 years old for the most part.
