The harness under the dash of my 62 Valiant has been fried pretty good. I have one out of a 62 Lancer but it is hard and brittle, most likely unusable. To cut to the chase, I might be able to get one from a 63 Valiant and I'm wondering how difficult it would be to use it in the 62.

Growing older is unavoidable but growing up is strictly optional.

That wouldn't be too difficult of a swap. You may have to lengthen some wires and/or change a few terminals. You'll definitely want to add more circuit protection than came from the factory in '62 or '63 (no main fuse or fusible link, even!).

Thanks Dan. At $20.00 it sure beats a Ron Francis job even if I have to spend a few more to modernize it. FWIW I intend to eliminate the high current loop to the ammeter and install a volmeter and oil pressure gauge in a pod below the dash. I might also update the fuse panel as I will need to add some circuits for an audio system and AC. From what I've seen the ammeter loop is the source of a lot of meltdowns anyway.

Hey David I think I can help-- & at one time I had a 62 harness I do know that I have a 63 saved-- i'll check & see how they compare, Lawrence

Cool, thanks!

I prefer to have a working ammeter (I regard voltmeters are considerably less useful), and I'm also sort of a hardnose about original equipment working correctly. I may look into doing this slick mod.

Interesting concept. I downloaded the referenced pdf and will have a closer look at it later.
