Does the assembly bolt up and will the '73/74 harness fit or does it have to be cut, spliced or must you use the '71 harness? 1973 Charger SE 1974 Charger Rallye 440 Aztec 2008 Charger SRT8

Not a biggie but it is there. I used the 71 harness from where it disconnects in the trunk IIRC, But it was 25 years ago.

Bumper opening is EXACTLY the same Quote: I used the 71 harness from where it disconnects in the trunk IIRC, But it was 25 years ago. teh deal is not really on body harness, is just a tail lights wires diff, were the ground to the tail lights from the trunk reniforcement is not running anymore allong the rear tail lights up to the other side sidemarker and is just to the driver side sidemarker. Then on passenger side, the sidemarker will require a similar ground to same point on the other side With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

That it could be a difference we never noticed in the past. but they should be easy to adjust With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela
