Topic: 70 tail light harness attatching points

[kcodecoupe]

looking for the correct tail light harness attatching points where the harness comes over the l/r wheel well into the trunk area, under or over the trunk filler panel and under the tail light buckets, fuel sending unit wire route, pickture would be great, thanks, chuck.

Guess we need to know before we get along too far - where and when was your car built? 

And California emissions or without ?

This recent thread will help with some of your questions/requests - if your looking for Dearborn examples.

Sorry, its a metuchen built B2 built on 1/23/70 without california emissions ,i am prepping the harness to send out to have new cloth weaving installed as it had bed patched up with black electrical tape ,

Looks pretty similar to the 70 Dearborn routing . Can't find a picture to verify the two outer studs at the taillights  were used with the metal J clips as shown in the assembly drawings and on Dearborn cars in the other thread but here is much of the routing and look from the wheel well on the drivers side to the tail light on the passenger side

Hope it helps

Pic #1 Red arrow shows the typical white/opaque colored zip tie. Extra wire connected at the top is the trunk light that this car came with, connection point



Pic #2 Fuel sender routing and tape locations



Pic #3 Driver's side tail light. As mentioned can't clearly see the outer stud  (green arrow)



Pic #4 Routing along the tail light panel Blue arrow is the grounding location for the loom



Pic #5 Passenger side tail light. Take notice that there are screw protectors and stud protectors used on the tail light mounting hardware on the trunk side

Thank you Jeff, great pictures. in picture # 1 it kind of looks like there is a white plastic harness push connector on the harness that goes through the outer half of the wheel well about 1/2 way up.

Think what ever it is isn't connected or part of the loom.

A closer shot - Lower one appears to be behind the loom while the other does not IMHO look like a clip of any sort




Believe same loom was used at Dearborn - so here is a couple of those examples - nothing visible on those looms in the same area
