I have a 74 dodge dart sport 360 I am putting the headlight and turn signal harness today and it has been 3 years since I removed it can someone show me a picture of how the harness is routed on the drivers side to reach the passenger side thanks
 
Assuming that you are referring to the main dash harness- you should see from the bulkhead connector 1 or 2 large clips on the right side of the steering/pedal support. Loom should follow this to the bottom of the dash where it will fork to left/right side. On the left side you can locate the loom by securing the fuse block in it's holder and running the rest down to clips in the left kick panel. The longer right side should follow the bottom of the dash where you will find a re-enforcing "trough" with clips.

Hope this helps. Harness leaves the bulkhead connector and immediately splits, main components to the left inner fender well but a group of engine wires (ignition, alternator, water, oil) goes to the right. On the left the loom will follow indentation in the fender well, behind the battery and through large hole in radiator support (tried to show in my pics, I see in yours). Now a group of wires drop down for left side lights while the loom follows upper radiator support with retaining clips to the right side that will have connectors for right side lighting. Good luck.

Aha! Now I see. Are you going to save that loom? Will try to get you some pics.
Murray could you do me a huge favor and take a few pictures of the driver's side fender of where all wires and components that get bolted and the plastic wire holders just everything that is attached to the driver's side fender in the engine bay if that makes sense
 
More pics, happy to help. One note of caution- my car is a '68 cuda which means it has points ignition and a mechanical voltage regulator. So some of the details will be different on your car but am helping because they are very similar. Here are some new pics from the bulkhead connector to the radiator support.

Don't think I have any pics of a '74.
This is the bay of a '72 'survivor car' that was at Carlisle in 2019. Maybe a little closer in some of the details - assuming its routing has not been altered.

The cable going to the front lights has been pulled away from channel it runs in. In the shadow we can see the plastic wire retainer the cable should be taped to.

I'm surprised to see the ballast resistors above the lip. Seems too exposed to rain water there.

This may be a retrofit of a Chrysler ECU onto a car that came with points. :( Sorry
