Had to buy some large, heavy duty cutters for where the harness enters the firewall on both sides
Attached one end of the main harness to each of the headlight cables
Replaced the rusty horn relay with a new one
Cut the old harness at the firewall
Matched up the wires leading to the turn signals and pushed their ends into the bullet connectors
Attached the other end (under the dash) to the 5-wire connector
Two wires piggyback to the turn signal bulbs on the instrument panel
Checked one of the bulbs and it seemed fine
Taped the new harness to one end of the old one and pulled through the underside until reaching both extremes of the car (Cut the old taillight harness in two)
Attached one wire to the top of the fuel sending unit (Had to scrape off inside trunk coating to get to the opening above the gas [...]
Returned the mini butane torch
Bought a soldering gun
Attached the green wires to the copper contacts (after heating the solder in them with the gun) for the parking lights
Attached all the wires to their respective posts
Checked the brightness of the parking lights… Had to switch one around
Put the headlights and bezels back on
Rather forcefully “installed” a non-broken headlight bucket into the left fender
Bent a little here, hammered a lot there
Got a new small, brake line made and replaced the cracked one next to the stoplight switch. May need to bleed the brakes again.
Removed both original, headlight cables/harnesses. Still need to get blowtorch for connecting the contacts to the two green wires on each (for the parking light socket) or crimpable contact ends.
Replaced the stoplight switch that goes on the end of the master cylinder
Might have hit the small brake line right next to the switch. It now has a small crack in it where brake fluid leaks out.
