they have baffles under the openings will this be alright?
Work has finally slowed down and I'm focusing now on the wiring, problem is I'm running all brand new wiring as my old wiring is either chopped, cut, bastardized or just missing. Problem is a lot of the new wiring is same but not the same. To help identify the wiring I'm currently making a picture wiring manual for future users who don't want to spend hours like I'm doing, trying to figure out where everything goes. I've spent some time doing this - hope it helps those down the road.
What I need/want from the mopar community is to help me identify the connectors, and what they plug into. Just write the pic# in the reply and type A) what its for, B) what it plugs into. Also, as I have found out already, do not throw away your old harnesses, some of the wires from your old harness may have to be reused with the new harness. If I had made a mistake, please let me know and I'll correct it asap.
DONOT FORGET TO USE DIELECTRIC GREASE OR CRC 2-26 SPRAY FOR YOUR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE BULKHEAD CONNECTORS!!!
***update (1) had to switch the brown and red wire leads on the windshield wiper motor harness as they were backwards when plugged into the bulkhead***
***update (2) M&H for some reason moved the horn wiring from the lamp harness to the engine harness, and they moved the low brake switch wiring from the engine harness to the lamp harness. So if one wanted to run a mix of old harnesses and new, you would have to change these wires in the actual harness themselves to get it to work.***
Now let's begin:
Main Dash Harness for 1971 Plymouth / Dodge Bbody With Rallye Dash (M&H Electric / YO):
(pic1)
(pic2)
(pic3)
1) 2 wires, both dark blue with yellow stripes
A) headlamp washer, whatever accessory on the car - rear deffog, powered trunk latch, A/C clutch source
B) This was used for more than one option, youget in fact those feeds full in 71, a bit less in 72. 73/74s got less accessories options and they got just one mold instead two on Harness. All extra stuff to be plugged on those molds USUALLY match the color of the molds on harness. You can see it on the A/C clutch feed of the pic 50, male is molded in yellow same as the harness mold... its a 20 amps fused source BTW
(pic4)
1) brown wire with white stripe

(pic5)

A) concealed headlamps
B) for dodge chargers not used on GTX/Roadrunner/Satellite
2) Other side of brown wire with white stripe
A) headlamp washer
B) engine side for headlamp washer
(pic6)
1) 2 solid orange wires, one red wire with white stripe, solid black wire
A) AM Radio
b) Radio Harness
(pic7)
1) solid tan wires to 3 port yellow female connector
A) accessory feed
B) ?
(pic8)
1) solid pink wire
A) stop lamp switch
B) switch on brake pedal
2) solid white wire
A) stop lamp switch
B) switch on brake pedal
(pic9)
1) solid yellow wire, solid black wire, blue wire with white stripe, solid brown wire, solid red wire, solid orange wire, solid black wire, solid black wire
A) steering column
B) steering column harness
2) black wire white stripe, solid light green wire, solid tan wire, solid pink wire, solid red wire, solid dark green wire, solid brown wire, solid white wire
A) steering column
B) steering column harness
(pic10)
(pic10a)
1) solid pink wire, black wire with white stripe
A) hazard flasher
B) electronic flasher
(pic 11)
1) 2 solid black wires, 2 black wires with yellow stripe
A) headlamp-on warning buzzard
B) harness gets an extra pigtail to reach the buzzer mounted on dash frame between glovebox and ashtray. Buzzer gets a plug like the blinker flashers ones.
2) 2 yellow wires with black stripes
A) to ignition switch lamp time delay relay wiring
B) It is used for the little lite that shines from the steering column to the ignition key hole when the door is opened.
(pic12)

B) back of rallye dash

B) back of rallye dash
4) solid dark blue wire

B) back of rallye dash
(pic13)
1) solid orange wire
A) cluster illumination lamp
B) back of rallye dash
2) solid violet wire
A) temperature gauge
B) back of rallye dash
3) black wire with white stripe
A) instrument cluster ground
B) voltage limiter have three prongs on back light face ( dunno if call it front or back LOL, because on standard cluster they are used backwards LOL )... two of them are actually an U shaped sheet. These two get the POSITIVE SOURCE from harness and the condenser noise suppressor which is attached with a phillips screw on back of cluster.. 3rd prong is the 5 volts output for gauges... it gets a small pigtail which sources all the gauges on the black wire.
The black wire with white stripe SHOULD be a wider terminal to be plugged onto the prong ( and bracket at the same time ) welded to voltage limiter "back case". This is made intentionally to NOT BE ABLE TO ATTACH by mistake the positive wire from harness on it ( would get a short as soon you put the key in RUN or ACC with this connected wrong ), since the prong on limiter case is also wider, matching the ground source plug
***UPDATE (3) I had to rob the bigger black connector off of my old harness because M&H uses a smaller connector and it won't fit on the voltage limiter prong (easy to do, use a flat head precision screwdriver and go through the front of the connector - the opposite end the wire goes into - and slide the screwdriver between the plastic housing and the metal connector) pic13a shows the wire on the old connector and the new smaller one I pulled off the harness beside it***
