When I install new stuff (A/C, wire harness, etc.) I'll cut new holes in the best locations. 4988101-IMG_0190.JPG (109 downloads) Driving modern convenience in classic beauty

The bulkhead has female terminals on the firewall from the passenger compartment and the engine side has harnesses with Male sides. Your fuseblock depends on the body. A-Body is on the left side of the dash by the kick panel, B body is usually in the glovebox. E-Body...I havent a clue I have seen custom aluminum covers for those bulkheads and all the wires coming out of it are inserted at 90 degrees. Bit much.... A nice clean neatly wrapped harness looks just fine. Relocating the whole thing to the inside might look nice but in the long run, crawling underneath to disconnect something will be a PITA Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s
