I definitely feel your pain here. A new harness is worth the
cussin' and cut-up hands. (dash harness) I am having PO haybag wiring
Deja-vu with my 320 truck I think our respective POs bought their wire
off the same spools (about 12 guage red and yellow?)
Go to the trouble of replacing grommets in firewalls and such! Save
