From what I recall, MoPar tilt column optioned cars in the late sixties and seventies came with Saginaw columns and required a short, pigtail, adapter for the turn signal harness.
Original pin-striping from 1969. Only decals are my college sticker in the back window, my college parking decal on the rear bumper and a current NSRA safety inspection decal above the painted Plymouth (copied from a MoPar advertisement) and the Plymouth
heart with the arrow tail in the right...
at 10,000 miles, that means excessive blow by every two or three years with anything in my fleet. I don't trailer my cars to events, I drive them. I'd rather be concerned with seat wear as a determination of when I have to pull the heads off and start all over than sloppy valve guides causing...
....and if you have a high lift cam you'll start getting blow-by around 13,000 miles. No thank you. I learned my lesson way back in the sixties. Knurling is just something you do to get a few more miles out of an engine. I haven't let anyone knurl any of my valve guides in over well over 50...
Looks to be the wrong gender. That plug appears to be the one for the female pins that are at the end of the under-dash harness and you need the plug for the male pins that are on the switch, itself.
The one you need comes with the replacement turn signal switch from Classic Industries
As a follow-up to one of the pictures in post # 58, here's what it looks like as of this afternoon. A set of Tool Box Widget large wrench organizers took care of the ones that actually fit in the drawer and the others simply lay on top and everything's in order by size. The smaller adjustable...

With the advent of blow-molded cases, storage has become an issue so I've elected to put up more shelving.
Below are some older shots of the Snap-On and Mac box drawers.

I started out building my '34 with this box in '64. I actually got it in '61 or '62 but it really came in handy when ai started building the car in the background.
I bought this Snap-On box used from the Cornwall tool dealer back in '65 when I was working at Associated GMC reconditiong...
The wheels and hubcaps are still on the car after all these years. The traction bars, however, are on the shelf.
What's it say on the bars, you ask? Plymouth is out to run you over. A take-off on the advertisement of the day, "Plymouth is out to win you over this year"

I want to say 1969. I'd have to dig out the box of slides and check the date printed on the slide frame. That's Monroe Roberts prepping his Road Runner for Holts's annual auto show at the Eastern States Exposition Grounds in West Springfeld, MA, specifically, in the Industrial Arts...
If you hold your mouse over the photo in my post (#184) you should see arrows pop up on either side and you can scroll through the pictures. BTW, while scrolling, the guy in the blue sweater at the car show is me. My girlfriend shot that one with my camera.
No, my car isn't in that particular picture but I'm the one who shot that picture. My car is out of the picture on the right immediately to the right of the car in the center of the picture,

Within 2 weeks of taking delivery of it in February of 1968 because it still has the stripes on the side. The rest were shot at Lebanon Valley Dragway in '68 and '69.
Not only do I still have the car, I also still have that Snap-on tool box (it's currently in the back of my hemi-powered hot...
Here's a pair of pictures of the one I've used for years.
You place the end against the paint and a ring on the end of the clear tube surrounds a magnet in the black portion of the tool.
The magnet "sticks" to the body. You, then, pull on the black plastic and the magnet and spring-loaded...
You can also use a refrigerator magnet like the ones you get from Rock Auto with every order.
They're nowhere hear as accurate but they won't stick to the body if there's filler under the primer.
I've been using an old paint thickness gauge for decades. You can still find them if you know what you're looking for.

Park your car on a slight upward angle and pour water into the cowl vent louvers and see if you get a similar leak.
You may have a rust hole in the cowl area and the excess water that you're pouring on the trim is actually flowing into the air vent area where your fresh air intakes are located...
