Electrical harness info please
Good Evening,
I am restoring a 1973 small block, manual transmission, non A/C car. There is no wiring of any kind in the car. The previous owner stripped it all out of the car. I called to order the harnesses today and was asked one question. Is the car early or late production? Would it be as simple as using the vin number to determine the model?
My VIN ends in411***.
Also, there are two different wiper motor assemblies for this car, would this be early and late as well?
Thank you for your help.
Ken

didn't think there was an "early or late" model in 73, only found that with a friends '79.

Since the '73 production was 34,464 units, yours falls in the 11,000 range which is on the early side of the half-way point. Completion date in the first 2 weeks of January. The assembly instruction manual may have a notation for the wiper motor that indicates a change to a new part along with the date.
Is that the difference in harnesses - the wiper motor connection? Do you have the wiper motor that you can reference for what style plugs it uses?
BTW, I second the recommendation to Lectric Limited. Their harnesses are top notch with decent diagrams for what connects to what. The guy who started / owns LL is a Corvette owner. They only list differences between big/small blocks and manual/auto trans for '73. https://www.lectriclimited.com/vehic...el/65?cat=1083
