Anyone know how many C15 cars there were in 1970?  Thank you Alan for sharing that.  I completely forgot about those seat belts.  Nice job  :clapping:

I think they go to the Seat belt warning light and the Switch light in the light bar above the dash.

@Cuda Cody in pic o43.jpg the connector your holding where do the two yellow wires go  the third one goes to the time delay by the looks of it

I didn't have time to read this whole thread yet, but wanted to mention that the A01 package can be different depending on what other options the car is equipped with.
The fender mounted turn signals and map light can change, and also the ignition lamp is different for 70 than it is for later years.

Sorry what I was getting at is one of those wire should be a 2 ish ft long going to switches the other should go to a connectedr ( which is the connector for the overhead).  My  :alan2cents: it's the switch light and if he has something in there already that's what's wrong.  We need better pictures would make this easier

According to Galen Govier there were 368 Cudas and 30 Cuda convertilbles produced with C15.

So....did the 1970 RT Challenger have C15 option with the seat belt light next to the reverse light on the dash? The two chrome plated bezels in the middle of the dash panel.

Screamindriver posted a pic on page 2 of the lights.

kent_goins

YES @kent_goins unless it was an automatic car, then it would just have the seat belt light like the picture I posted. :alan2cents:

I'll add this for future readers in this thread so the info is at hand and is easier to understand since this thread has gone off in this direction ..
1970   C15 without the SE or gran coupe gets the dash frame mounted light... SE or gran coupe {with the overhead console} would NOT get the dash light even coded for C15... With the C15 package there's also a set of seat belt brackets/receivers to secure the loose belts...  I've included pics of the dash with and without manual trans as well as the front and rear mounted deluxe seat belt brackets so if you're going after the C15 option you'll know what you need...

    Don't forget the seat belt warning light was moved from the dash frame to the instrument cluster after 71{on the right side}...But the light was now a mandatory fixture in all vehicles at that point...I'll add a pic of a 72-74 rallye dash with the seat belt warning light for reference...

I second Cudy Cody....awesome contribution :)

just one more thing...I heard 70 challenger dashes were different regarding the emblem. Do you have a pic of a 70 challenger dash emblem? Just trying to verify my build. The car saw some strange stuff in its day with accidents and parts being swapped out for other years. Trying to put the puzzle together as I go.

Additionally, I spoke with Cody about build sheets and there is a mystery of what happened to all those late 60's and 70's build sheets. Chrysler told me they had a fire in the warehouse that destroyed all of them...Cody aint so sure that's a fact. I would sure love to track down a build sheet for this car or a copy. Anybody want to chime in on that? I would be willing to go the extra mile to pay a air ticket and rifle through boxes to find my golden buildsheet ticket.
