Jules:
In your experience have you found that the wiring harness is the same for both the 2 and 3 speed? In other words, if the switch and motor were replaced, would it be a "plug 'n play"

This seems to be a fairly common conversion (I'll be doing the same soon enough)... maybe this should be something for the tech archives?

The variable switch and the 3spd switch have different plugs

I know that. I asked because many times the harnesses are universal and can accomodate either. You see harnesses with a zillion unused connectors hanging out unused all the time.

no it doesn't work, found out the hard way, someone changed either the switch or motor at some time and took a little while to figure it out.

Much like myself you are ASSuMEing the type of car, But the sreen name of the person that asked the question tells me he has a 68 B body so I felt confident answering his question. 68-70 B body there is no separate dash harness for 2 speed or 3 speed so it's pretty much PLUG n PLAY as asked if you have the correct parts.

A jumper wire goes between them.

Thanks JohnRR. I ended up saying screw it and put it all back together. Will have to wait until I redo my tic-toc-tac to mess with all that again.

Thanks for covering for me John. Its a 71 Roadrunner. I purchaced a dash harness and complete gauge cluster. The car has a 2 speed motor and I have a 3 speed switch. I guess I'll get a 2 speed switch, but the harness fits the 3 speed switch. I getting from this that the harness will work for both??

You need to convert your linkage to a 3 speed connection like this.
