Hello all.
I purchased my ’73 as a basket case. The wiring was completely disconnected and the harness pulled into the passenger compartment and engine compartment. Started with this:  Where I’m at now:  Question 1, where does this harness go?  It has this connector.  Question 2, what does this brown/black wire connect to?  Thank You James |

The brown/black is for the optional wiper delay. If you don’t have that, just tape it to the harness as it was originally.
The other harness is not factory 914. Maybe some kind of aftermarket stereo or something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

For the rest of the wiring, here's a link to a thread from a long time ago about all the pieces of a '73 main wiring harness:
