Now, about where the coil signal to tach leaves the cab ( or enters into the cab ) changes along the years there is a reason why was made on that way.
On 71 the NSS harness got just the reverse light signal into the cab, not the safety ground signal thought, so two cavities were empty on them. These cavities were used to the A/C wires ( blower and compressor, green and blue respectively ), but the engine harness got one cavity left... used for tach if equipped ( I correct myself, was not the NSS plug on 71... memory failed ). Heater cars just the blower wire on this NSS plug.
on 72 and 73, the safety ground signal needed to get into the cab to make work the seatbelt system warning signal ( 71 was a time delay flasher controled just like the ign courtesy light... no buzzer for it thought, just the light ). Hence the NSS harness plug got 3 cavities in use. The empty cavity left was used for blower, since no matter if A/C or Heater the blower was allways present. The empty cavity on engine harness was used on A/C cars for the compressor. The tach was less common than A/C cars, so this wire run throught the firewall with a grommet.
On 74 the NSS harness plug composition was the same than 72/73, getting the safety ground signal to the interlock. BUT the FULL A/C HARNESS ( blower and compressor ) did run throught the firewall with a grommet. Why? the interlock control system needed to run an extra wire on engine harness for the dual starter motor signal, one for the starter motor relay and the other one for the interlock control bypass button. Not anymore cavities left on this harness. With the new A/C harness path throught the firewall and not the bulkhead, the NSS harness plug got a free cavity again, being used for the tach if equipped.
Now I have the doubt about if a Heater car which uses just one wire for the blower, got this wire running thought the firewall or, if being a non tach wire, used the NSS harness plug, like 72/73. Would need to check further for this on diagrams options.
However I can show this bulkhead and firewall disposition for the full option cars on 74. The firewall grommet for A/C shows heater should get its blower wire configured on the same way. I guess to keep the standard configuration no matter the car options
