She hasn't ran in 8 years and when I collected her from my dad's barn, i discovered that the damn barn mice chewed all up and down the main wiring harness! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I know there are a few re-manned wiring harnesses out there but since I'm overhauling the engine, transmission, and interior myself, why not do some wiring as well. Plus I want to alleviate some of the high load bearing pathways and be able to add accessories without worrying about melting down my dash. So I've traced the routes and labeled everything, now I need to find matching wire. Solid colors are not a problem to find but I need stuff like Green w/black stripe, Red w/white swirl, black w/ blue dashes. Even Grainger only had red, black, and white solid colors. And I don't want to have to buy 500' of each. There's at least 13 different color codes. Anyone know of a resource for this type of wire? |

Yes, Mike is correct about the 73 harness. They made the change late in the production run of the 73's just before the 74 model start up. They probably ran out of 73 harnesses and started using the later one.

They probably ran out of 73 harnesses and started using the later one. even worse, some owners of the first 1000ish (check your vin) are reportedly having 72' main harnesses, i'm not sure of our early 73. fun, fun, fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
