Follow up to my recent post about the headlight on warning buzzer. If anyone has some of the factory wire connectors that plug in to the fuse panel, I would pay for one that fits LPS and IGN if you have some extras. I searched and they seem to be scarce. Pico wiring makes the black for BAT and clear for IGN, but cheapest is at summit racing for $4 each, plus shipping.

Other than these, seems that original taps are commanding lots of dollars being "vintage". If some reasonably priced originals can't be had, then my push in blades will have to do.

I sure miss the days at Pick-a-part and Pull Ur Own back in San Diego, nothing like that here in NW Montana,

Speedway an Amazon both sell them as well.
$1.99 each at speedway. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Pico...fw5jqPCLa44LcLnMIHi2S4XJyEltIsiUaAkv2EALw_wcB
Not sure what they charge for shipping.

Amazon wants $7.55/ea, but free shipping if you are a prime member. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00030CPSM/

Finally got my exhaust finished. 24 inch dual glass packs with side exit before the rear wheels. I’m loving it!

I'm half tempted to buy a 3-d printer just to make stuff like this that's small and probably very simple to render and slice

I started at the OE wiring harness coming through the firewall and the fuse box. From there I started looking at what new wires have been spliced in and tracking where they went.
I’ve figured out that I have three additional things added that I can separate and re-wire more cleanly with wrap and ties. Aftermarket trans temp gauge, aftermarket Kenwood cassette radio, and a modified Tank selector switch.
I pulled the head unit to isolate those wires, going to pull the tank switch as I want to get it back to original equipment eventually, and removed the wiring for the trans gauge too since I’ll likely add new gauges somewhere else and don’t need this gauge in the cluster.

Now I will rewrap up the OE harness, reinstall the cluster without the trans temp gauge, then reinstall the head unit with cleaned up wiring. Then I’ll figure out the tank selector later.
