My 1971 column has the 14 pin connector with 13 pins used. Is this the same in later years? 1970 cars have 12 pin connectors. The 13th wire comes off of the ignition. Do I need a late switch? Do the late switches have 5 wires?
So is Aug 1971 production a "late" car? When asking folks here about this they say the 1971 cars have 13 wire columns, is this special? I am confused...... |

Understood, my main question is the 13 wire. It is black with a yellow stripe and it comes off of the ignition switch. I can swap this for a 1970 part but it will be missing the 13th wire. I am scared this may open a rift in the time-space continuum or worse, leave me something not working on my car.
Will this work? What is the black/yellow wire? |
