Midlife 814 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 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!

Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 We could make all kinds of jokes about wing nuts. Boy Howdy that'll hold it on there good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 What in particular are you concernd with? I assume the wing nut is just on to hold it in place for shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 From what I understand, the conversion can be made. But for a concours job, it will probably be a challange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

danno 128 Report post Posted January 31, 2021 OK, now I understand. I would guess the e-clip was missing. I might have one in the box I just sent you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlife 814 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted February 1, 2021 I did the converion of a 69 underdash and underhood harnesses from a non-tach to a tach harness. I know there are a lot of details that need to be completed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
