It should actually be very straight forward.
All the wire colors appear to be the same.
The biggest difference is the multi-pin connectors
vs the earlier setups using single/double bullet
connectors. Even the 4 wire ignition switch was a straight
wire up to the 5 wire harness. It's simply a matter of
looking at the schematic and paying attention to
the colors. Horns and wipers are even a straight
color for color match up between the dash mounted
and stalk levers The horn and key buzzer ckts are the only
items you may need to fiddle with an extra wire.
