Being human is not about individual survival or escape. It’s a team sport. Whatever future humans have, it will be together.

Since I do not see the harness, here is one clue. In 1977 (I think) the dash harness added a wire for the oil pressure idiot light. Prior to that the oil pressure was a tube. So if it has that wire, it is a very late harness. If not, I am not sure I can help. I know lots of lights, side markers etc, were added around 1974-75, so that may help as well.


Good luck!!

Yes that is my next problem.
Frank had put a spridget harness in the car , laying in a pile on the floor.
Here is what I'd like to attempt by targeting a year it May have been out of.
I AM considering putting the complete harness in the race car.  Because I'm putting lights and a horn in it , this harness would make that rather easy from a dimmer switch & turn signal switch standpoint.
This harness is for a car with wipers and turn indicator/ dimmer functions on the column. I have noticed that the turn signal switch has a black wire and a violet with black tracer which go up underneath the turn switch pivot in the switch.  Kevin gave me a switch to repair my broken switch.  That switch does not have a provision for the 2 wires to go into it where my defective one has these wires.  I need to try to narrow down years for the harness I have so I can utilise it.  .its too nice to cut apart all the blue tape its wrapped with...its that nice.  Initially I was going to strip all the tape and remove any wires I did not need .   now I'm considering saving the harness and utilising some wiper, fuel gauge and heater wires for other functions( without cutting anything).
What can I look for as identifiers of anything which may narrow down it's applicable model year or years so I can read a wiring diagram and use this harness?
Thank you!
Chuck
