    Be careful something sounds wrong if one connector has 2 wires.  That could be the horn depending on what year you got.  There should be 2 connectors with 1 wire in each.  Unless someone added something in?

    Or I am crazy.LOL

    Mine has the connector with 2 blue wires going to the post closest to the one held on with the nut. The other is a single green wire to the other post.

    I have attached a wiring diagram. It shouldn't matter which goes on which. But make sure you have the correct 2 wires to begin with.  :jumping:

    I HAVE A 71 BARRACUDA AND THE ENGINE HARNESS FRIED, I TOOK OUT THE OLD HARNESS,BUT WHEN I WENT TO ORDER THE NEW ONE COULD NOT DECIDE BETWEEN THE REGULAR HARNESS OR THE ONE MODIFIED FOR ELECTRONIC IGNITION. I HAVE MSD IGNITION BUT SEEMS INDEPENDENT OF HARNESS, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO HARNESSES
