67 Barracuda Dash harness install

Thanks for the replies I appreciate it. I'm going to pull the front seat probably drop the steering column I guess. Hopefully things will go smoothly but I'm sure they won't.. at least it'll be a new Dash harness and a new engine and forward lamp harness in the car... not what I was intending on doing. As far as the alternator gauge bypass I read somewhere that running a wire directly from the alternator to the battery alleviates some of the load? Wondering if that's good enough considering all the wiring is going to be new? Not real big into the electrical so it would figure that would be what my car ends up needing...lol
