Instrument panel wiring help

I just bought a new wiring harness and the plug that came with it is arranged wrong if any body could help me put it in the right order or just has a schematic to show where everything goes that would be great

The '71 wiring schematics aren't listed but, you might be able to go by the '70 or ''72 schematics to figure it out.

Go figure, the "other site" doesn't list a 1971 wiring harness.
If you want to just cruise and and see what you can find:

(guess I was typing too slow and Ultra beat me to it)

I am pretty sure 71 and 72s were pretty much the same under the dash, not sure about 70. I know 68 and 69 were the same.

1970 F100/350 & Econoline use ONE YEAR ONLY Printed Circuit Boards, with or without Oil/Amp Gauges.

1971/72 F100/350 use the same with or without Oil/Amp gauges Printed Circuit Boards, that are also the same as 1971/74 Econoline.

This is the layout that I received the plug in and the diagram that it's supposed to be in finished

Mind if I ask where you obtained that connector? I could sure use one for when I swap in my f600 instrument panel that uses the older style connection.

Doesn't follow '72 wiring at all. I'm guessing it isn't for '71 either.

C10 connector is the instrument cluster connector. Wire numbers and color codes are listed---> http://www.fordification.com/tech/wi...ing_legend.jpg
