Re: [strokers] success!

John, did you cut the harness at teh firewall in the Jeep or pull the connector? If you pulled the connector all you need is the pin-out for that, and you can get it at the local Jeep dealer. IIRC the pin-out also lists the color of the wire as well as designation for each pin, so that might be all you need anyway. 

You will need a wiring diagram for the Javelin. I don't think a 71 uses a plug-in connector, not sure right off when they started using that. May have been 70...

Just splice the same named wires into each other. I cut the power wires out of the Rambler and used the ones in the Jeep harness to make things cleaner under the hood. 

Congratulations Mark! Been reading about that things for a long trime now... ;>
