Well I couldn't even look at it tonight. But thatnks for the info Norshor on what each of those Pins are at the connector in the upper right. I am hoping to get back at it tomorrow evening (my wife is on afternoons so I am stuck being a semi-involved parent instead of a horrible mechanic!)...

Well I did try to pull the panel without luck and was afraid I would bust one of the pins or something. I do have a clymer manual but unfortunately when the PO hacked the old wiring none of it makes sense anymore....

So what I am wondering is in that bottom pic you will see a blue/white that is sliced to a white. In terms of the dash what does that feed? That is the wire that "appears" to be the same as my mystery blue/white. Currently that splice goes to a bluish purple solid wire that goes in to the...

Ok, as for the mystery wire that is providing 12v it is a blue/white wire and seems to come from one of the connectors under the steering column (there are 2 separate sets of connectors under that column each with about 8 wires I believe connected at a plastic strip connector). It appears to be...

Well the dash does light up when I put the lights on so that's the one thing that actually works!! LOL...god I hate wiring especially when the PO butchered the harness and now NONE of the colours match up with a normal wiring diagram!

sorry guys, yes it is a 70 Dart. And I assumed they were red and just faded a bit but pink is probably closer to it... It may not matter as it looks like I will have some major wiring in my future (did I mention I HATE electrical work???) All kinds of funky things found once I started...

So, I have been working on geeting some of my dash wiring back to working but have come across a few oddities I could use some help with! First of all does anyone know what this connector might be? This mysterious V shaped connector with 3 red wires... Also, is there a way to actually test...

Wanna build one for me?!?!? My 70 Dart's wiring makes your's look brand new!! lol...

I thought about pulling the cluster but didn't have any luck getting it out....I pulled the speedo cable and one quick connect but it still wouldn't come free. What all do I have to disconnect to get it out? Oh and I assume it's just an oil light not a guage...

oh and sorry when I mentioned pics of both front and rear I meant pics of the fuse box from both the front and rear....sorry for the confusion.

Just to give you an idea of the fun I am facing....

OK, so after getting the Dart running a little smoother I figured I should slowly start to pick away at the incredible rat's nest that the PO has created with the dash wiring harness. Currently the only guage that appears to work is the voltmeter. The gas guage and the temp guage are dead as...

Sorry guys, I thought I mentioned what the fix was!! It was the lead from the ECU to the - side of the coil. The PO had just wrapped it around the post under the ring terminal of the wire to the Tach. So when I looked at the - side all I saw was the one wire (no evidence of a broken wire or...

Just to more or less close the loop on this one...thanks again guys for the help!! I got it roughly timed by ear and wow what difference! Much smoother than before although I do have to adjust the idle as it is revving way to high now (close to 1400 rpm's at idle). So once I can get my hands on...

IT'S ALIVE!!! It runs like shite, but IT"S ALIVE!! Thanks guys!!! Now I need to get a working timing light and see if I can get the timing anywhere remotely close.... Oh and no fire! but lots of smoke....I'm guessing the timing isn't helipng

Ok so I think you just hit the nail on the head!! I do have a tach and likely the green wire goes there and not into the ignition as I had assumed... So, I think I will jump the wire from the ECU to the - side of the coil (as in the diagram). If I don't set myself on fire I will post results...

will do 67 Dart...I think you have already helped me greatly!! Ok so I had a quick look tracing the 5 wires that come from the ECU. I think I atleast found one problem!! I actually have 2 cut wires. The green as described in your diagram and also what you list as the black wire (in my case...

I will get started testing and tracing wires tonight....I also need to pick up a new timing light.

Don't worry I have thick skin! Lol I assure you the wiring was not done by me. Not sure where in it's life it was done but considering the car was originally a blue /6 I would guess there have been some creative mods! Oh and as for the under dash wiring it is far worse!

Thanks to everyone for not burning me for my lack of knowledge!! ok 67 Dart, I have a few pics now. Your line drawing looks correct (although I will take some readings tomorrow morning and confirm. I think you might even be able to tell from the pics the quality of the existing wiring....lol...

My day just keeps getting better.... We'll, I do have a timing light but apparently it is pooched! I even put it on my Honda and nada.... I believe my issue is the electronic ignition. Anyone have a schematic for the magic orange box?? Can I rule out the coil by plugging a plug directly to the...

Ok so I don't think I am getting any spark at all right now! Pulled a plug and grounded it while cranking over and no spark. Tried another plug wire or 2 just to be certain. Checked the out put at the coil...with the ignitin in the run position how many volts should I be getting? Currently...

Actually 67Cuda I am planning on making it to the Rock for the first 2 weeks of July so maybe will drop them off to you!!!!

Sweet! That makes sense....unfortunately my wife is asleep directly above the garage so I can't try it tonight. I will give it a shot tomorrow an if it works I will owe you SEVERAL beers.....You just have to come up here to get them!

It's an Edelbrock. I have put the hose back on I just wasn't sure of it's purpose but I assumed it was for an advance.

Ok so on closer inspection I realize the entire distributor is turning...the retainer plate must have been loose.so in a nut shell I am pretty sure I buggered up the timing! Oh and by the way it does have an electronic ignition...so if I can't get the motor to start how do I set the timing...

I can't upload pics from my phone sill need to do it tomorrow from work...damn! One of those nights...

Vac hose.....stupid auto correct!

Well 6 and 8 were reversed! So I swapped them and voila....it doesn't run at all!!! Piss me off..... I must have knocked something loose at the cap, but I'm pretty sure it's flooded so I will wait to fight with it tomorrow night. I only had a few short minutes to fight with it. What seems odd...

Awesome! Thanks guys, I will swap the wires around tonight and post back my results!!
