Some platforms/years used plastic slip isolators on the column support mountings, those had a ground wire from the column to the support to ensure horn switch circuit continuity to the body. Assume your ’73 E-body is the same as the ’70 I am currently working on, no plastic isolators, no ground...
Reinstalling the dash involves removing those two studs from steering column support, installing the two lower side captured washer 5/16” side bolts partially, leaving them stick out a bit. Place the dash frame’s open lower mounting flanges onto the bolts and rolling it up into place and secure...
Review post #6 of this thread, third picture. And post #15. The later metal valve you want is 3502723. The Bakelite valves proved to be very troublesome, the factory switched to the metal version around '73.
Door switch ground circuit, would connect to the optional ignition switch light delay relay and harness if equipped.
Dash light circuit
Radio power connector (accessory circuit) with dash light (orange)
Seat belt waring light
Goes to the blower resistor, non-A/C. Should be an additional...
You have the wrong version of that valve for an E&B body application. There are two versions that operate opposite of each other in function as related to cable movement direction. Note the slot orientation in the operating lever. You want the one on the right.
Now separate the fuse box from the bulkhead connector and remove the two Packard terminals on those two remaining A/C harness wires from the bulkhead connector.
Second pic is the rear body harness connector.
Yes, remove the harness accosiacted
Yes, you can remove that A/C harness completely, transfer the indicated blower fan power connector to the main harness, there is another connection near the blower resistor pack to disconnect, the connector on the main harness there then goes to the non-A/C...
Yes, will need to swap out the oil pressure switch for an oil pressure gauge sender, does use the same wire run. The main Rallye harness should have a power connector for the clock, double red wires on a single female Packard. Tach signal wire is normally not part of the harness on early cars...
Pretty clear the harness you are working with came from an A/C car. As mentioned, the A/C harness is not part of the main harness, can be removed/separated from the dash to use the main harness on a non A/C car.
Correct, routs to the passenger side of the dash, down the kick panel, under the carpet to the auto console shift selector light. Other pics, rear speaker fader and related wiring. Rallye cluster did not use the lower indicator hole between the gauges and the tach, would normally be plugged off...
