Terry:
I re-wired a '73 spit last year, and had a lot of help here on the list.
I suggest that you try to locate a harness that's a little closer to
the era of your car- especially in the 70's- there were a lot of
electrical changes going on in the seventies! I was lucky enough to find
a (close enough to) perfect match (Thanks Andy!) that was an easy switch
in & out.
If you have to use a different one, try to identify where everything is
goint ot go before you get it in, so you can isolate (& tape shut) all the
leads that you're not going to be using. It will make it less confusing
when you put it in. It is going to take a little time on your back on the
driver's floor, but you'll get it.
Make sure that you have a good diagram (I used the Haynes) and label
everything & draw pictures. (probably the advice most useful to me)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!!
I just tried to write out the colour scheme from memory, but failed
miserably, and don't want to mislead you. If you need it, I can get it
from home- mail me personally and I'll send it to you.
Ciao!
