I just used the same harness for my 62 uni. It worked great. some thoughts: (1) TAKE YOUR TIME. do not try to rush it. (2) I replaced one circut at a time as I removed it. this helped me keep everything strieght. (3) If you have access to a wiring diagram (I used one from a 65) this will help you with the coding if you plan on using your stock switchs and gauges. (4) the turn signal (steering column) and the ignition switch caused me the most consternation. (5) a good circut tester will help you in tracing out wires in the column and switches. (6) the directions are good and you should have no problems. (7) I switched out the generator for an alternator at the same time. You might want to consider this upgrade. oh by the way take your time (:-).

redf100 do you remember having an extra wire going to your ignition switch? I have a brown wire that goes to the ignition, but its not listed in the directions for the ford ignition switch conversion. It is listed in the mopar. Im not sure what to do with this wire.
