I got the in dash wiring harness removed and removed all the outer sheath that wasn't melted to the wires. All plugs are labeled and zip tied to make sure I maintained the branches and started verifying the standard wiring diagram to my actual wiring since changes had been make from previous...

I am only using 18 guage for the relay coils. Most everything else will be 14 guage since I am swaping to a voltmeter vice ammeter.

I will look it up. I already purchase new Bussman relay boxes with mini relays and fuses.

Thank you for the notes. It has been helpful in trying to identify all the random parts. Finally finished up my wiring diagram but trying to figure out what type of wire to use and guages for everything. I am thinking: 14ga primary for most stuff 18ga primary for relay coils 10ga TXL for the...

I am a bit of a nerd. Printed the electrical pages to pdf to reduce the size then put them in my tablet and opened with a paint program so I can use a stylus and draw on them. Have a set I am erasing as I go so I don't miss anything.

So using the 73 dodge manual is better than 72 plymouth? So far it has lined up with the 73 schematic

I mainly did the wiper because the dk green going to F2 had ZERO insulation from the firewall through to the dash switch. I am guessing the remains of the insulation are what have cemented the other wires into one piece. The middle red wire in the ignition switch going to the main splice area...

I downloaded the 1972 manual from MyMopar since they don't have a 73. That is what I have been using. I opened the two page electrical in MS Paint and as I add a circuit in my drawing I erase it in the book print. I have been using the pages you mentioned. They have helped alot in better...

Oh yeah. Some other goals: Figure out how to replace the instrument lamps with LEDs. Replace the amp meter with a volt meter. Go ahead and remove and repair/repaint the dash....I mean everything is out of it at this point. Fix the hack job they did on the radio area of the dash and replace...

Well I purchased my 1973 Scamp a year ago. Have a 1969 Cougar from Jersey that I purchased 18 years ago when I was 24 and didn't know anything about cars, aka bought a rust bucket that fell apart within months. It is still in pieces, kids and a Navy career killed reviving it. Finally scraped...

Luckily I like electrical stuff. Originally from San Antonio, my wife is from South Carolina. When I retired from the Navy and we were deciding where to go, she won.

First time Mopar owner and first time thread starter. purchased a 1973 Plymouth Scamp with 318 and automatic. Was drivable until last week when a scab job modern radio install shorted out and burned up my main wiring. Funny how the modern equipment screwed up not the 50 year old. Well I have...
