Cuda trunk wiring pictures

70-71 Cuda

I can get better if needed

Although I'm not 100% sure it's exactly OE . It's an MH harness and this is the best way to route it , where it fits.

Does anyone have any pictures of how the "additional" ground wire routes for the rear side markers and tail lights?

Here is a shot of the wiring fwd of the wheel well. Is this correct to route around the gusset?

Yah, but your missing a little bracket to retain the harness on the gusset.

Right on Thanks that looks like just one of those rubber coated retention straps screwed to the gusset

You have some great schematics? What manuals are these from? I have several chassis and body service manuals but no sketches like these. I believe these are the type of manuals I really need for my wiring installations.
Thanks

They are factory assembly drawings. I managed to get a few from a popular Mopar site before Chrysler made them pull them. Faxon is suppose to offer a bound collection of the prints, but I haven't seen any progress. I would contact them and see when they plan to publish copies.

Faxon does offer a collection of engine manuals for 1969 cars.

Yes, hopefully Faxon will get those done, I'd love to have a full set. It's supposed to include diagrams that we haven't seen yet.

Thanks for posting those Snoopy. I especially like the ground wire diagram. Been awhile since I saw that one.

Happy New Year!

Added the retention brkt and attached it to the gusset. Just used pull rivets. On the harness I have a trunk light which attaches to the tail light harness and then it hooks into the dome light.

I was curious if someone has diagram or a photo of the seat harness as it is installed across the floor?. Here's what I have right now?

Snoopy nice job on the pics. Do you have any reference shots for convertible cudas rear tailight harness routing and rear pump harness? Also, I know that there are little loops that hold the harness by the trunk gutters. Any shots for refence on that also. I see that some converts have one loop and some have two loops.

Thanks Ken

Thank-you! You are man with the great pics. My car is getting closer and closer everyday to getting done. Wish I could find those last few parts.

Ken

Thanks Again - Would you happen to have any of the pump cylinder oil lines routing.

This is all I could find, it seems to be a generic picture. It is from the 70 Plymouth Factory Service Manual.
I have seen a really good picture of the plumbing on Moparts, but didn't save a copy of the picture. Maybe the member that posted the picture will repost it.

From the 70-71 Factory Parts Book.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but since I am doing my rear harness right now I thought I'd ask:

What size (and what wattage) bulb is supposed to be used for the license plate light? The bulbs for the tail lights fit the socket, but you'd have to disassemble the housing since the hole isn't big enough to fit the bulb through and that just doesn't seem right (plus it would be too light).


Thanks in advance.

Any way to be able to view the photos and illustration pics that were attached to the posts in this thread? They all seem to dead links. I would really like to see the assembly manual page showing the Cuba driver side tail light wiring and ground wire.

I see this is your first post welcome to the board...Every one is opening for me...Click on the link, open or download the attachment and view...There's many knowledgeable members here if in the future you run across an old thread and need info/pics on the subject using the new forum format just ask and we can post the info... In any case here's what you're looking for I pulled them for you...

And for your viewing pleasure here's a pic of the actual ground wire in question it measures 16 inches long..

Thanks for the pic and scan!!

Does anyone have an original spare one?

Was this ground wire used on 1971 models as well?

Does the orig. wire in the pic have the part # printed on it? It also looks like it has 1/4" holes in the terminals, aren't the studs this wire attaches to only a #10 thread size??

A friend was the original owner of an EARLY 70 Cuda, he said some time in Feb. 1970 the dealer added this wire to his car due to back-feed problems in the lighting circuit that he was experiencing. It appears that this wire may have been installed at the factory sometime during mid production and that there may have been a TSB for the addition of this ground wire to earlier cars by the dealers.

Lastly, Does anyone really have any idea if or when the Assembly manuals will be available?

Here's another old thread on the ground wire with some info...Keep in mind if the wire was added by the dealership through a TSB then unless current owners had the vehicle from new then the SPDs really mean nothing other than speculation... ground wire thread
IIRC the wire did have some script/part number on it.
Since you can't pull the pics from the old formatt...Here's the 2 pics from the thread showing the referenced "survivor" it gives the info on the different sized terminals you asked about...
