67 barracuda notchback restoration
Awhile back i rebuilt the instrument cluster and whole dashboard assembly, well i just got around to rewiring it all. Started with an M&H harness from year one, but had to modify a few things. No cutting was necessary only adding in. My 67 will have a hurst 4 speed, i decided to add the reverse dash light used on the 69 and up cars. This harness is set up for automatic reverse light switch in the column. I repinned it to the bulkhead for a 4 speed application and slaved in the reverse dash light wire.
It doesnt come with tachometer wiring either,. Neither did the factory made harness unless you ordered the car with a tach. So this too was an add in. I wired it in with factory colors, and coiled up the extra wire as i will be running a shift light and not a tach, but still need these leads. I also bypassed the ammeter gage wiring by attaching the 2 leads together with a bolt and a nut and shrink wrap.
The last part of this was adding in a factory chrysler light package. 67 barracudas were not available with a light package. A spare light package sub harness from a 69 rallye dash harness was used. I dewired the lights on buzzer from it, and added in the wiring for an under dash map light switch using 68 dart schematics. I cut a hole in the 67 ignition switch chrome bezel for the light to shine on the ignition switch, adapted an ignition switch light from a 68 fury to work since 67s didnt have illuminated key hole,
I also drilled a hole to add an on/off switch and bezel for map light, and added in the ashtray light and glovebox light. The grand finale was testing everything with a car battery hooked up, then boxing it all back up and putting in storage until needed.
