Try looking into "Painless wiring" kits. They make then for lots of cars.

Thanks @74 Harley I have purchased the painless wiring via summit racing. 250 dollars which isn't too bad for a loom that's highly rated. Got the 21 circuit modern fuse box etc etc, also bought a new starter motor and alternator, hopefully this will cure all the bad connections I have in the car and finally be back to a working car and not a project car. Roll on August 31st for the rewire.

One last thing my mechanic has asked to get some new switches before he does the full rewire. decent quality dash ignition switch, light switch etc his words are
What shall I get from rockauto. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Rock Auto is great, I've had good success with them for generic replacement parts; but if it were me the first place I would look for more specialized items like the ignition switch and headlight switch would be one of the Tbird parts specialists (Tbird HQ, Bird Nest, etc).

Just my two cents; YMMV.

Rock Auto is great

Everyone eventually finds out, Rock Auto is great unless you have a problem with your order. The company reviews are about as bad as they get- https://forums.fordthunderbirdforum.com/threads/rock-auto-reviews-warning-rockauto-com.11057/

The leadership and management don't care if you are unhappy.

Does any company offer a new rewiring that offers a fuse box vs inline?

Try here if you are looking for an original type wiring harness.

Pat Wilson's Thunderbird Parts

Yeah if your looking for original looms they are quite pricey 1200 bucks for dash to rear and 335 bucks for engine harness on pat wilsons. I find getting fuses are really hard to get and just blow alot.
Hence the updated painless loom with a modern fusebox.
Hope this helps.

New starter motor
New alternator
New solenoid
New fuel pump.

I'm hoping this will fix all the bad electrics and performance problems.
Is there anything else to get the gremlins out of my car forever.
