NPD advertises a Mach1, tach-compatible headlight harness for the 71 Mustang. A customer sent me his existing 71 Mach 1 tach headlight harness and the reproduction, stating that the reproduction is missing a wire. I thought that missing wire may be the AC lead, which is part of the headlight harness for 1971 only. Instead, it appears that this harness is a Mach 1, non-tach or standard dash harness. It is missing the second power lead near the starter solenoid and both ammeter leads at the fuse box junction.
Wow...this is a big screw-up on the part of Metal Alloy, if true. I'll be spending Saturday examining this repro a bit closer to confirm my first impressions.
Has anyone bought the repro headlight harness and had no issues? I wonder if Metal Alloy is now producting a standard headlight harness and the parts got mixed up at NPD. NPD still is only advertising the tach-compatible version so far.
