stock or doing your own thing?
stock I think year one has the lock on bulkhead connectors. sometimes they pop up on ebay.

the ends are napa stocked parts you can pick up there. the archives should have the part number.

There are a few places to get spools of wire, multiple colors. Just depends on what the min is to buy.

Not stock, I have looked at the connectors this guy sells for a while.

female 725145/ male 725147. Just find the best deal on flexible stranded wires & duplicate your orig colors & I did my 65 dart by laying the old harness out on the floor and duplicating 1 circuit at a time until the old one dissapeared and the new one took shape. Crimped & soldered connections and went 1 ga larger on the wires. Was time consuming but a good learning exp. EDIT use an eyeglass mini screwdriver to depress the brass terminals to pull them out the back side of each respective half of the black bulkheads. Stick the screwdriver in the little square hole on one side of the female terminals & depress the hidden tab just the right amt to where the terminal will pull out the back side via the wire and depress the open leg of the male ones to do the same and installed in the bulkhead you cannot tell which leg is "open" on the male ones so touch each leg and the one that gives is the open one and when you have either male or female one released just the right amt the wire w the terminal attached will easily pull out the back side of the bulkhead wo any forcing. On the new female brass tabs you will be installing pull the tab on the one side out a bit from it's flush position so it will snap in place when you push it in to lock it.

RapidRobert,
when you were recreating your dash harness did you find different gauge wires were used or was the dash harness all the same gauge wire? what was that if you remember? Your project sounds like it was very interesting.

I think they ranged from 12 to 16 (maybe 18). different colors/different gauges needed so you will need a bunch of spools but that still had to have been cheaper than a tailor made harness (I never checked prices) assuming you could get one for this car and I got the lengths/twists/turns exactly like it was. I wanted to keep the orig colors otherwise troubleshooting on down the line could be a nightmare even on a bare bones 65 dart. Take notes (or even pics) and do ONE circuit at a time
