Rally dash redo

By the way those 67 Factory retrace cad drawings I forwarded are only as good as Chrysler released! The 68 drawings are better and the 69 were much better. Sometimes you have to look at all three to get the whole picture. There are many subtle differences though and should only be used as overall reference year to year. They changed back-up lights and neutral safety among other things each year. The factory 67 drawings did not include all the optional wiring that may be present, least I have not found them to re-produce. 67 was the first year and they only sent out a supplement for Barracuda to the main shop manual.

You did a nice job with them.

Its odd but the supp doesn't have the circuit coding for the instrument diagram where its most helpful. It seems like it went out the door a little less finished. I verified the 2 speed wiper switch connections against mine last night.

I'm sympathetic with extending wires or adding connections, but it seems like asking for problems. Between the tips and photos here etc, and the 67 Supplement, I was able to reach everything without too much contortion or difficulty. The two points of difficulty were the heater control mounting screws and the unexpected ground wire. The heater screws might have been easier with the panel partially out. IIRC thats what I did 25 years ago when I was working with only the 68 FSM for guidance. This time I wanted to remove all screws and bezels I could with the panel firmly mounted to the dash.
The downside of extensions is more wire too stuff in there without strain on the connectors. And to my thinking, every additional splice and connection is something that could go wrong.
