Mystery about replacement engine harness
Hello all,
Because of questionable connection in past at firewall connectors, and a mess of splicing in the area of the A/C relay, and just
for long term peace of mind-I have undertaken an engine harnesss upgrade. I obtained proper harness for my 1965 convertible
327/350, with air conditioning that I was told was a factory original. The dash ductwork etc all appears original so I tend to believe that.
I ordered the M and H harness, and confirmed. Just an easy switch, right?
What I find today after discussing with their tech support is that all hookups seem to correspond, except that I have one branch in the middle of the harness (about where the distributor is located which is a single section that then splits into two, with various connectors.
The tech fellow assures me that these should plug into the other side of the firewall into a dash connector for the fan motor and associated controls. I was under the impression from my research on this swap, that the only wires coming out of the dash enter
the engine compartment through the grommet under the wiper motor, also containing a vacuum hose from the manifold.
Am I missing some hidden plugins? I have accounted for the coil wires, wires to ballast resistor, connector behind the fusebox, wires to starter, wires to A/C, temp sender etc.
Now a simple task has become complicated. Ideas? Thanks in advance.
