when it rains it pours

thanks RedFish. i dont want to butcher my harness either. im still gonna get the other 71 harness cause my nieghbor offered it to me, dash and everything for free. so atleast i'll have the white connectors where the ignition switch wiring connects to the dash harness. plus a new fuse block i have yet to cut the wrap off of it yet but if it was anything like my engine harness was, atleast i'll have the extra wires incase. do you think the alt gauge will be okay? i'll get some new blue wire aswell is there any other areas that i might want to check? i did order a new dash voltage regulator the same time i ordered my engine harness but i didnt see a old one attached to my dash? do i need this is? it somewhere else? yearone says it mounts behind the fuel gauge. i also noticed that my horn relay wire connector was melted a bit too
