    Ok so full disclosure! I found the real issue. I was using the wrong wire harness!  Back when I started working on the mustang I was in the middle of building a 68 corvette into a road race car. I had stripped the wire harness out of the vette and set it aside but didn't label it. Needless to say that was a bad idea. Long story short, the mustang got taken apart, the wire harnesses got put into the same box, neither labeled. Fast forward some 25 years, after divorce, and moving several times I started working on the Mustang. 

    I'm sure most of you reading this are thinking, couldn't you tell the difference between the Vette harness and the Mustang harness, well, you would be surprised how similar they are!
    It makes total sense now though the vette had 4 headlights and a very similar setup in terms of connectors, and the color code was exactly the same! 

    Lessoned learned. over the weekend my son and I have been able to get everything wired up!  Thanks everyone for the great ideas and tips. Hopefully I wont need your help anymore, but it's great to know there is help out there if needed.

    It may be a silly question but do you have the headlight extension wires for the 69 Mustang headlights like in the attached link?. I think you are missing them.

    BTW that is a beautiful blue, is that a Ford color?.

    I think you may have just solved my problem! Ill have to see if I have those extensions! IT's been so long I may have stuck them in another box. 

    Thanks for the compliment on the color, its actually House of Kolor, Smurf Fondue Blue. It has just a little pearl in it so when the sun hits it, it really pops.

    Thanks again, for the tip.

    Is the harness coming through this hole in the radiator support? It should be if it ain't. I can't really tell.

    Right now the harness is just lying loose, Im in the process of putting it back in, I just wanted to make sure the headlight plugs would fit, and thats when I found out they were short.

    Looking at the pictures and following along it seems your harness has no plugs provided for the headlight harness ?  Instead the wiring comes directly off the harness ? Are the horn connections present ?  Brian

    The harness is just one piece, there were no plugs, Yes there are horn connections, just didnt get them in the shot.

    I have the other harness your talking about, it hasn't been cut or shortened. The problem is I took it out some 25 years ago, thinking I would get it back together sooner rather than later! But as everyone on here knows, life gets in the way and here we are. So I know it fit at one point, but I just can't get it to work no matter what config I try. For some reason those wires going from one headlight to the other, the pig tail is to short. Im tempted to remove the headlight buckets and see if that works, thats the only thing I didn't put on the car, the paint shop did that.

    That does help, my issue is i cant seem to get the plugs to line up, when I plug in the outer light the wire harness is to short to go to the inner light, so I must be doing something wrong, the wire harness is the original harness, so it must go on there some how?

    Do you happen to have a shot of the harness going between the two lights? I know thats kinda of a weird angle, but that would help.

    I'm rebuilding my heater box and want to make sure I get all the parts ordered at one time. I have a couple of questions:

    1. Are there rubber end cap seals on the heater core?

    2. Where can you order the rubber gasket(it looks like a big donut) that goes between the blower motor and the mounting plate?

    3. Is there a valve in line in the heater hose? I see it for the a/c model but I don't have a/c and don't see it listed for the non a/c model.

    Thanks for any input.

    Thanks Guys, I understand how to get the front edge and the bottom edge off, my concern is the top edge where the window comes through. It doesn't look like I can get anything in there to get to the spot welds? And have you tried the Skin Zipper tool to put the new one on? That looks like a good investment even for 2 doors?
