DePouli's 1969 Charger 318

[Brian DePouli]

Ok so here is the first couple missing harness that doesn't seem to be reproduced (or at least I can't find it on YearOne or Classic Industries.

Dome light harness (it could be reused but it is stiff)

Next is the body harness for the console (smaller harness at the console is available) and not sure what else. It is also pretty stiff and the fabric wrapping is in rough shape as you can see. Again I could reuse it but not thrilled to do so.

Any body have a source? And proper names?

And finally there is this one which I don't recall what it is for and haven't dived into the wiring diagrams yet to determine.

So if you apply aircraft stripper to it will soften up and clean up. Then spray it with water. Sounds weird but I learned that because I had a lot of overspray from a crummy paint job in the 70s. Not ideal but it did make me feel better.

I could not find a source for a number of those small accessory harnesses either

Another uh oh moment as I put the tach harness in the fuse box... What are these supposed to go to.

Delay valve on bottom of ac box on RH side ?

 

[Brian DePouli]

Where do these mount? Never had them on the car before I guess thrown away long before I bought it. Top one is heater hose (mounts to inner fender but where), bottom two are AC line brakets with the middle one coming off the block and lower one off the inner fender but where)

 

[Brian DePouli]

Got the radiator hoses in

That was it thanks.

Pretty sure this mounts to the alternator.

Am I missing a hole for the fuel send unit wire?

Nevermind patch panel didn't have the hole made for it so I will have to cut it in. Any one have the correct diameter? Assume it is just a hair less than the grommet...

Go over to Mega Parts see if this is it.

That's actually the bottom of the three. Think I got a handle on where the top one (no coating) goes except the hole where it should go on my car is not drilled out, so maybe a 318 with AC didn't use it?

Here's where my wire goes

There is a hole on the passenger side of the spare tire hold down...mine was cut out with the patch panel.

Think it goes in the hole where you have a body plug. A bit different than my Coronet

The two plugs by the filler neck is for the vent tube. You have two options for position...It uses different "soft" plug for the vent tube....

The sending unit hole is behind the spare and to the right of the hold down bracket.......The difference of the hold down bracket position is due to the filler tube on a charger.......It was to move the tire out of the way for more trunk room since the filler tube takes a portion...

Did you car have a factory rear speaker? Was there a speaker "fader" switch attached to the bottom of the dash to the left of the ash tray...

no it was factory AM only center dash speaker only. I now have an AM/FM and was considering a rear speaker setup...something I need to know about to make it look authentically correct?

Originally, the factory rear speaker was a single speaker on the drivers side opening...I know sounds weird...The passenger opening was for the optional rear defrost blower unit attachment. Their is a separate harness that runs from the radio to the rear speaker. Green and black wires I believe. Then there is the fader switch on the dash frame as mentioned earlier. My charger came with that option....
