Thanks for the responses. Good to hear I’m not in seioously bad shape!
Dan, when I bought the car, the entire dash was damaged from a leaky windshield while sitting outside for years. That was the main reason for the complete wire bundle replacement, but since the gauges were also not salvageable, I replaced everything with a set of backlit NVU gauges that looked much like stock.
I think I’ve got you covered in the lighting department. I used your instructions to install relays and upgrade the wire sizes. The fuse module also contains the flashers for turn signals and hazard lights, while the Dodge truck steering column has the hazard switch the stock one didn’t.
The headlights are GE Nighthawks. At my age I don’t do much night driving with my “fun cars” and those were the ones you suggested as moderately priced upgrades.
Another photo shows the front fuse/relay module and the headlight relays mounted in the original battery location. The console contains another fuse panel along with the seat belt control module and inertia switch.
The other photos show most of the under-hood wiring, minus the alternator changes I’ve decided to incorporate after reading the other thread. FWIW, I also replaced the badly corroded bulkhead connector with a Delphi Weather-Pack design.
If anyone spots something that doesn’t look right, please comment.
