the wire harnest going to the firewall not making good contact
I would, and do, recommend disconnecting the firewall gang plug and all the harnesses off of the firewall and clean all the contacts, both female and the males and then use dialectric grease on both sides when you reassemble it

1969 was not a good year for Mopar cars wiring, especially the engine and under the hood harnesses
