Two #40 wires?

my 1954 M170 has the original harness in it and on mine #40 comes out the light switch connector as one wire to a factory rubber splice block with 2 pigtails on the other end for each dash light. There is no douglas or packard double connector used.

The thick plottens.

Thanks for that. I seem to remember on the schematics a black box
denoted a molded factory splice like you mention, and what is used on the
left rear of the A1's.

Any other M170 owners out there?

Ahhhh........another difference between the M170 and M38A1 harnesses. Brian, you mention a splice block at the rear of the harness. I seem to remember seeing pics of those black rubber blocks when I was searching for something, but didn't pay much mind to them. There are no such blocks on my M170 harness at the rear split for the two tail lights. I haven't peeled the tape off there yet, but will when I get home from work later. Guess NATO didn't think much of splice blocks either.

Still got my '55 M38A1
