Are you asking about inside under the dash or inside the engine bay?

This is for a 69 and is in position. If you have a vert make sure the speedo cable goes over the support like the pic.

Not sure if it will help, but I've got some pics of my 71 teardown here. I'm not looking forward to having to put all that wiring back togheter!

Check the AIM. For some years, the main dash harness routes above the speedo and tach and clips to the backside of the dash pad to keep it up and out of the way of the under dash braces.

You know you've got it wrong if the harness bumps the braces and will not allow the dash pad to fit properly.

I learned that the hard way.

watch that steering column mount, it is cast rough edges, your wires can easily rub on them,
which would be a very bad thing. !
Either grind them smooth, or split some tubing and install over the sharp edges.
or do both ! 69VETT
