My car is a 1971. The thing wrong with my wiring harness is, um everything!
The previous owner re-wired the whole car off a GM fusebox and was kind
enough to use ALL blue wires, every single wire is blue. Things are really
rigged up, i.e separate switches for each headlight and tail light, a
"custom" gauge cluster that only half works, factory gauges and lights
working sometimes. Just an overall PITA and I want to get it fixed. I was
told this is the only way to do it. I've been told by some people its not
that hard, its just time consuming, and others have told me it was the worse
thing they've ever done. One of my friends just told me that if I was able
to attain a large, color wiring diagram he could make it and help install
it, he does it all the time on airplanes in the air force so I trust his
work. Just another idea for me to toss around if I don't just go out and
pick up a new harness.

Thanks again,
Cody
