Yes took bulk head connector apart. It has been replaced in the past due to ammeter melting red wire. Previous owner did wire bypass for voltage gauge.
Help with no power??

Mbaird that's where I am heading! New wiring during resto. i wanted to get engine started and drivable before it goes off. There are too many burnt and cut up wires under the dash.
Story is been in garage since 1983, driven in and parked.
Matching number motor V code 440 six pack, trans replaced. all original body panels, 3 rd owner triple green. At work, no access tp more photos, sorry.
In that case it may have the same problem now that caused the connection to the ammeter to melt.
A good reproduction harness may be the way to go, although pricey, especially for instrument panel side of the firewall.
You could also repair and restore them. Some people have done that. Lay the whole harness out on plywood or similar. Mark the connections, unwrap and then replace or splice as needed.
Either way save the old harnessed for future reference and parts. I'd have been jammed on multiple occasionals glad if I hadn't saved the orignal harness.
Copy that guys! Thx
New harness was fine for the first 10 or so years, then it needed some repairs and I went to the saved harness.
I'm serious about the cause of the original failure may still be there. Start with checking for shorts to ground. That's the most catastrophic.
It sounds like what ever this 'wire around' is (many ways to do this) it may have failed. Result being no battery power to the main splice.
