by the way what's the prob or are you just wiring up a harness?

all the wires can be found with a multimeter too if need be

It may not be simple to do but it sure beats 40 year old wires that several PO's have hacked and slashed over the years.

And if you take your time and lay it all out in advance its really not bad. If you were to try and just stuff it in there with no thought to where things are going then ya im sure it would turn out a big mess.

I t hink you may also need to use the stock hazzard switch to make it all work right. I went with a grote universal turn/hazzard/high/low beam lever. It looks big when you take it out of the box but after I got it bolted on its not bad at all.

Good luck

The turn signal wiring changed fundamentally in 8/73. Use the '71 shematic in tech links.
The pre 74 wiring is more compatible with generic wiring harnesses and GM wiring.
