I don't know about that Jim, as my 71 has it's rear wiring harness in the
same location as both of the 70's cars I've had /have, along with my 65. Now I
would agree that moving the harness from in front of the VR from inside the left
rocker to inside the car along the rocker would be a good choice. My 65 had
that piece of harness running right thru the rocker, and I'm sure other "early
" owners would agree that it's a bad place for it. On mine, I moved it inside
like the 68 (that I know of) and later cars were done.
