Never dealt with March. April, however, was quite a performer! Oh my, yes she was...

I sourced a close duplicate to the factory e-clip. I have about a 100 of 'em. And every cannibalized 69-73 harness has them as well.

1 hour ago, danno said:What in particular are you concernd with? I assume the wing nut is just on to hold it in place for shipping.
There was no e-clip holding the bolt in place, only the wing-nut. You can't mate the receiving plug with the wing-nut in place, nor with the green box as shown floating, as it is next to impossible to mate it with the headlight harness.

I had a core turned in as a concours-level restoration by someone else: a 1969 underdash tach-compatible harness. with no AC. Not only was it not concours-level (wrong wire colors used, etc.), it was a converted standard AC harness. Well, I do the conversions all the time, and I had to almost completely redo the alternator indicator lamp wiring.
Anyway, when I opened the bag to start a check-out, I immediately noticed this, and need your advice as to whether this will work or not. Please opinionate!

Ooooh! A Wedgie!

Oh, there are so many differences. 70 has different ignition switch, and different breakout position of turn signal switch. It has a massive section going out to the starter solenoid, so many wires are eliminated from the fuse box junction for the headlight harness. The 70 also has RUN-only fused lines running through the harness. Rear tail light harness connectors are different as well.
The only good thing about 70's is that the headlight harness is identical for tach and non-tach dashes, but there is a variant for the Mach 1 for the sportslamps.

2 hours ago, Robsterthelobster said:@Midlife@midlife I know this was years ago ^ but this is exactly the subject I could do with some answers on myself and you seem to be just the person, my car is a 70 fastback with standard dash, no tach, somebody has been playing with my wiring and iv been trying to work it all out and agree it goes, namely the large black and yellow wire, green with red tracer wire, and the two wires that come out of the back of the gauge cluster plug? I need to know where exactly to connect them? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I'm right in saying the black and yellow wire goes direct to live? The other three wires iv no idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
Not sure that I follow what you're describing. Best to take some pictures and e-mail me if you can't figure it out with Danno's schematics. BTW, Danno is my electrical doppleganger.

Sure sounds like a grounding issue to me. Probably at the brake lights. Now then, the brake lights should be off when the car's battery is charging. Do you have a good grounding strap from the engine head to the firewall?

Yeah, but who wants to live in Bakersfield?

My prediction:
Joe Biden will pardon Donald Trump very soon after inauguration just as Ford pardoned Nixon. Mark my words.

The headlight connector, per se, is not at fault, it is only a phenolic block. The pins that go into the headlight connector can be suspect, and often times I need to re-crimp the pins to get good continuity to the rest of the wiring system.

It's to keep the cats out. Do you really want a cat in your lap with extended claws while taking a dump?

Paraphrasing from the Journal of Irreproducible Results (yes, that is a real journal)...
Woman is sexist, as it contains the word "man", so...
Woperson is also sexist, as it contains the word "son", so...
Woperchild is not sexist, but spot on!

Yes they do. That pin is for the low beam of the headlights. There must have been a short somewhere, either in the headlight harness or the underdash harness. Probably best to send both harnesses in to repair the damage. I may have to replace both portions of the green connector if sufficient damage.

It's the manufacturing code for the seat itself, not the interior trim of the vehicle.

Again, coincidence and correlation does not mean causality. The vaccine tests had people getting them 3,9, 37, and 48 days after vaccination in one trial and 32, 28, and 22 days after vaccination in the other, along with one person in the placebo group. This does not mean, though, that one should dismiss Bell's Palsy out of hand, but needs to be monitored to see if the rate exceeds what is expected in the general population prior to the vaccine.
The article states at the very bottom:
For anyone who does experience Bell's palsy, the condition is treatable. Oral steroids, especially if administered within 72 hours of symptom onset, are highly effective at restoring nerve function.
With anyone undergoing vaccine trials, the doctors most certainly would treat the patients.
Now writing sarcastically, I experienced a severe case of constipation the next day after taking the COVID-19 vaccine. It was so bad, I was full of sh!t for 14 days. The vaccine must have caused it; there is no other rational explanation. Just because one or two people state something out of the ordinary does not mean it was caused by whatever they claim. While I correlated being constipated with the vaccine, I could have also started a long regiment of opioids (which causes severe constipation) or I could have an impacted bowel.
No one knows how Bell's Palsy starts or what causes it, although it sometime seems to occur after a viral infection (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bells-palsy/symptoms-causes/syc-20370028)
Without knowing the complete medical history of the woman above, simply accepting her statement that her Bell's Palsy is due to the vaccination is not warranted without further proof and investigation. Based upon what is known about Bell's Palsy, however, it appears this may be a coincidence vice cause and effect.

Correlations does not mean causality.
From the Phase 2 and 3 trials, people got Bel's Palsy (which usually goes away after a few days) as the same rate as the general population.
