John, the only wire you HAVE to connect is the ignition wire. Everything
else is pretty much self contained in the computer to engine harness. What I
did was use the diagram for the wires coming out of the Rambler and spliced
the matching ones from the Jeep to it. I mean things like the temperature
gauge, alt. light, etc. I also cut the two power wires that supplied power
to the dash and used the wires in the Jeep harness instead. Just match like
items together and discrad the rest. You can use the AC wiring as well, but
need to study the Jeep AC wiring a bit first. I wired mine in so the engine
idle stays steady even when the compressor comes on (Jeep computer bumps
idle when compressor comes on so you don't get a 100-200 rpm drop). 

The two pieces of the connector you can discard altogether as it's mostly
lighting. Only the engine wiring is of consequence. Of the 10-12 wires there
you only have 4-7 depending on if you use the AC wiring or not.
