Have the dash out of my 69 B. Best wiring harness and where to order? Does A/C matter, or 4 speed (for the revers light)?
I realize this has probably been discussed ad nauseum but I haven't been on here long and quick search didn't reveal anything recent enough to rely on.

Thanks in advance.
 
There is only one.. M&H. You either order it from Year One, Classics or I think Megaparts has them now as well.... BUT they all come via Year One as they have the rights to sell them. M & H won't sell direct. Wait for a 30% off sale...

That said, is there actually anything wrong with your existing harness? I reused mine and only redid all the bulkhead wire ends to a new bulkhead block.

Thanks. Pieces of it are missing and corroded. Haven't done a detailed inspection yet so may be able to repair and replace as needed.

Have to check out gauges as well. None of this was hooked up when I purchased car and previous owner is deceased. Obviously replaced face plates, but nothing else. I'd bet my dauhters inheritance the tik tack clock doesn't work. Radio was out and in pretty sad shape, etc etc.
 
just look at the wires good,I replaced all mine. 50 year old wires. Dadsbee is correct M&H is what I buy.
 
Unless a noticeable damage, normally a good mantenience is quite enough on the dash harness. Even with some damaged spots, those are easy to reach and fix And there is not NASA science on them. Usually ugly splices made on the past and sometimes even with some wire melted ( such as the alt wire ) it could be easy to fix/restore with just $20-50 ( $100-120 if needing a new bulkhead connector ) instead $550-600 for a full harness. But most of them just need mantenience at bulkhead terminals and fuse box clips. Diff story is the engine harness, NSS, which with the oil and heat gets all wire covers cracked.

Oh and about the accesories harness such as AC, heater, 4 speed, A01 light package... they are separated harnesses even being linked to it, so when ordering they are not included. Can't tell on earliers, but on 71 and laters, the underdash harness gets the wire source coming from fuse box free hanging around ( a packard terminal ) to be inserted either into the HEATER plug harness or AC harness plug. I think earliers gets the Heater and AC harness with the wire to be conected straight to the fuse box.

yup... year one for the M&H, I've used a few... excellent.
If you are restoring to original? (Or near original?) Then it really is the only choice. If you are restomod and/or performance build? I like painless. It easily adds circuits for EFI, Nitrous controllers. Ect.. JMO of course.

Nothing I ever do these days is painless....

yeah I'm more likely to inspect and repair, does not seem to be in that bad of shape...

Would strongly recommend you contact Evans Wiring Harnesses. He actually makes them and does Mopar exclusively, so he knows his stuff. Bought an engine harness from quite sometime ago, perfect.
He’s on the web check it out. Phone 814-864-2622

Thank you I will definitely do that!
 
I'm looking at getting the M&H rear and forward light harnesses. I think the new lightbulb connectors have the wires all as one piece, not new wires spliced into a replacement light bulb connector?
That is one of the issues I see with the generic harnesses, they provide pigtail light connectors that need to be spliced to the generic harness.
