New wiring harnesses are not cheap, but certainly are well worth the money. After a few (!) years of neglect and many owners, you never know what has been done to the various wiring segments. It is really important that the OP start simple and move along. Get things going first, then work on other challenges one at a time. I bought a '70 Duster that was running, but had weird electrical issues. In my case, I replaced the engine wiring harness & under dash harness to resolve most of the issues. Cheap? No, but having an older car is not a thrifty endeavor either. Do what you can, then wait for a little more money and fix something else. These cars are longer term projects... unless one has deep pockets and can take big swings. Have fun, and don't get frustrated! That is what this form is all about; Mopar guys helping Mopar guys!
