I have a 72-74 rallye dash harness in my 70 Challenger.   I searched long and hard to get a 1970 specific wiper switch .... rare and expensive.  Finally found one ...... now the harness plug for the wiper switch won't fit.    I guess when they moved to the newer switch, the old one was no longer used.

Does anyone out there have a beaten up old rallye harness with a plastic plug that I could swap out my later version for? 

Thanks .... CHAPS

Okay ..... thanks Brad.   I checked with Evans Wiring .... no luck there.

BTW .... do you know where I can find the sway bar retainers that hold the rod and bushings??   Can't seem to find a source?

I assume your wanting stock ? ( for the sway bar?)I don't know where to find new ones?  I gave my stock sway bar to a member on here and lost one of the sway bar bushing brackets . After he picked it up I found it? So I have one stock one here you can have if your stuck?  If your going aftermarket then lots of options? Energy suspension etc....

I have one, in fact I have 3 70 E-body 'parts' wire harnesses. I would get you both connectors for your switch. You need just the plastic plugs or would you like a few extra inches of the wires from the plugs as well? $22 shipped to your door in the USA. Let me know: redbarron89 atmsn dotcom

Yes it will, as long as you're sure it's a '70. I converted my 1970 standard dash with 2 speed wipers over to a rallye dash with variable speed wipers and DID NOT have to replace the wiper plugs.

I'm 100% certain that the one I have is an original 1970 NON rally dash, but the car only has 2 speed wipers. You can have the whole harness for $30.00 if you pick it up.

Chaps:     I'm in the midst of doing the same thing.    From the research I've conducted - the '70 standard (non-rallye) wiring works for a 3 speed/variable switch.    I haven't installed my switch yet - I'm in the middle (like -- today) of trying to get the wiper transmission arms installed (actually looking at a website to see how the pivot arm installs to the wiper arms).   Were you able to score a set of these?
