Greetings all. Newly taking advantage of those willing to share their superior knowledge. Brother has a 1971 Demon 340 4-speed. Original dash harness brittle and smoked. Removed and saved for comparison. Purchased a very nice 1972 Non-rally Dart dash harness and I have searched previous threads and learned quite a lot concerning adapting it to a Rally. (Thanks Redfish) I have a 1968 Barracuda Formula S, and used the downloaded 68 Plymouth dash wiring diagram as a guide since there are NO 1971 Demon/Dart rally dash wiring diagrams available on the web. Still have some important questions: (1) The Brake Warning Sender wire from position #6 on the round dash cluster (black)splits/to 2 wires with one going to the parking brake switch....the second goes to the Bulkhead Position M. **The 68 Plymouth manual has this second wire going to Bulkhead Position W*** Can someone confirm that the manual is wrong???
(2) The illumination wire (orange) coming from the 3-prong connector....it seems that can be tied into any other orange wire such as the one coming from the dash cluster position #7....It doesn't have to come from any specific orange wire, correct???
(3) The dash cluster wire coming out of position #10, teethe temp and fuel feed, that gets tied into the thicker (10/12 gauge) Black(Ignition)-Pink(Signal Light Flasher)-Black(Fuse Box) line that is coming from Bulkhead position W??? Does it matter where in the line it goes??? Does it matter an 18 gauge wire gets connected to a 10/12 gauge???
I put a newer thicker wire in that position because I couldn't find a corresponding wire on the 1972 Non-rally harness.
Appreciate the help, I think this is correct but do want to check with others. If anyone sees a problem, please let me know. Thanks.
