need some help starting to wire up my dash harness
 

i want to start to reinstall my dash main harness on my 72 formula . i think it makes sense to wire up everything on the dash and then install the dash .
first pic is the rear speaker connector , not sure were this goes , maybe i am missing something from my radio
2nd pic is a wire that seems to come from the rear on the pass side , could it be for my trunk release , not sure were to hook this up also e

many of the wires are not long enough to wire up the dash before installing it & may get in the way when you actually go to install it. i always get the dash installed first with some ducting installed, then wire everything up via the gauge holes &/or from underneath.

did you buy a manual yet? will answer all of these questions.

its coming
do you know were the two connectors in my photos go to

if the first pic is indeed the speaker connector it should go into the back of the factory radio. not sure on the 2nd wire, kinda hard to see the color of the wire, but possibly its the trunk release or if its gray it could be for the under dash courtesy lights or shifter bezel lights.

the good thing about the connectors on these cars is they are shaped to only go to one location, so just find the item that has that shape & thats where it goes... kinda like a jigsaw puzzle.

when i removed my harness it was clipped to the dash?

also need info were the power feed for the electric trunk release hooks up to

I think the dashes were installed loaded on the assembly line. I load the harness in the dash and install it in the car before installing the gauges, radio etc. I don’t believe you can get the harness in the channel easily with the dash installed.

that is my thinking too

Here’s a couple pics that may help.

thanks for these great photos , it is a great help . did you also install the duck work on the dash

Glad they were helpful. I can probably dig up some before pics as well. Text me your number/email if so - 304.859.7509.

With respect to duct work, you have to do everything other than the dash vent feeds after the dash installation.

my cell phone is 416 427-9308 not sure what you mean about the dash vents
the before photos would be nice to see

any one install all the duck work on the dash than install on the car

Are you dealing with an A/C car? I have never done a dash on an A/C car myself. The non-A/C cars you can install the short little duct on each side that mates with the air valve on the cowl. Just make sure the ducting installs around the air valve properly, it likes to deform easily.

My car is ac. Looks like a lot of duct to try and fit in after

I think that the ductwork may have been installed before the dash is. Not sure on that though.

These may help,my 70 , with AC , during disassembly.

photos are great , looks like duck work was was attached when dash was installed
