Question wiring harness

Hi

I have a lot of electrical gremlins in my truck. To name a few:

Voltage flicker mostly when rpm is above rougly 1800 (headlights/interior lights flicker too)

Sometimes the wait to start only blinks once when turned on = no glow.

Sometimes startersolonoid wont engage.

Periods i have to both glow and start with shortening with a screwdriver.

New parts Alternator, Voltage regulator, startersolonoid, about 10 new groundcabels to cab/engine/alt/solonoid/regulator/headlights.
Countless connectors cleaned/greased.

My question: is there somewhere i can buy a new wiring harness?
Other solutions?

Frustrated

Stupid me!!!

Update:

Figured out the voltage flicker... when i put in new headgaskets i put in a new "universal" throttlecable and it rides on top of the gprelay and makes random shorts especially when throttle above 1/4.
2 inches of fuelhose and no more shorts

It may even be the reason for the no start/glow... i will update when sure
