Does someone have a good diagram for the 73 standard instrument cluster connector? The wiring diagram I'm using is not very clear.
You'll have to butt-splice it with another non-used wire to give the splice mechanical strength. The resistor wire is a single-strand and can't be crimped by itself. That's the purpose of the black wire that goes with it and doesn't go anywhere in the harness except under the tape.Awesome, Thank you both!
One other question... I cut the resistor wire before I realized it was a resistor wire. How much trouble am I in?
Is the length going to matter? It's about 5-6" long at the moment.You'll have to butt-splice it with another non-used wire to give the splice mechanical strength.

You have to be careful with such statements in the public...Is the length going to matter? It's about 5-6" long at the moment.
Yes, wire 297 is resistor wire from ignition switch to C-211 on non tach/guage system. The wire 297 from wiper switch to connector C-307 is not shown as a resistor wire on the 1973_full.pdf, but I think it is. Maybe you could verify that? I can't tell if you have gauges or lights.Is circuit 297 the resistor wire? It ties into 12v from the light green w/ red circuit 904.
I'm trying to tie up some loose ends with the "painless" harness install.
Gas gage and turn signals don't work at the moment... IMO the gas gage is higher on the importance level for now.
