65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
I left the dash harness in place in the dash in order to confirm there's enough slack to install the firewall junction block, to reach the body wiring harness plug, the door switches, etc and to locate the best place to mount the Dakota Digital instrument cluster control box and both auxiliary fuse panels.
The best place I found to install them was on the kick panel where they will be easily accessible to install wiring and check the fuses. One fuse panel is for stuff that requires a constant hot, such as the Dakota Digital control box, the PAC1300 and its associated relays, rear power window and driver's seat lumbar support. The other fuse box will have power only when the key is on or in ACC. It also powers part of the control box, part of the PAC1300, and heated seats - yes, the original 66 Barracuda seats will have heated seats and driver's lumbar support!
