Turns out my 1973 wiring harness has a 1973 snorkel. Who would have thought. I just discovered, after snaking the harness through the firewall, that my 1974 chassis wants a 1974 snorkel. Another unanticipated revelation.
Anybody have one in good condition? The later model snorkels are longer and have a much larger seal on the forward end. Also, looks like 914rubber only sells the early version. George This is the one I need: Not this one: |

You will also find that due to the central location of the top of the snorkel that the battery cables will likely be too short, and possibly the fuel pump wires and oil temp sender.
Each year harness is sufficiently different that there are problems trying to adapt a harness from the wrong year. Your tachometer wires will also have to be adapted |

While refurbishing the harness, I made a bunch of modifications: 1. Replaced the fuel pump wires with larger gauge up to the front under the fuel tank. 2. Added an oil temp wire to the dash. 3. Added an oil pressure wire to the center console. I'm not sure about the battery cables. I'll find out soon. George |
