The dash harness was totally unwrapped and checked for crisp wires. I did not have the usual ammeter toast but I had a petrified wire to the steering column. I replaced it with a wire from a harness I bought at a swap meet that was in good shape. In the near future, I will changing out the ignition switch harness that this red wire plugged into that is also petrified. I also put a tach wire back in was cut off by the previous owner for an after market tach. I think he did that because he fried the original one.
The whole harness was re-wrapped with non-adhesive vinyl tape of the same width that came off of it and put into the dash frame.It is ready to go into the car.
