Default new wire harness

I am in the process of changing all the wire harness in my 71, I have replaced the dash harness, rear lamp, front lamp and power window harness. how many are left? I know the engine harness and I want to change the one that goes to the starter with the fusible links. What harness is that in?

Me being a rookie---I'm not sure how many remain.

BUT......I DO know THIS.......once you've done a dash harness............

The rest of 'em will be a picnic!

If I understand your question right, what the catalogs usually call the "engine harness" forms half (one of the 2 parts) of the multi-connector coming from from the firewall and heads toward the passenger side and has the fusible links which end at the starter. (At least it does on my '75).

Hi g,
Since you'e done 3 of the 4 main harnesses already I think you'll find installing the Engine Harness pretty straight forward.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
