Nice Barracuda and a great starting point for some fun driving.
This may help; the 74 Plymouth Factory Service Manual used but reasonably priced

Also contains the wiring diagrams you need!

I got the temp plates today and on my way home from work, I passed a classic car show 3 blocks from my house. So, I came home, slapped the plate on and took it out on the road for its first trip in about 30 yeats!  She ran well. Onky issue I had was in the way home i has to run the lights. The volt meter was in the "-D" side about 1/ 4 the way over on the gauge.  Came home fine. But an hour later I went out ri start the car and within 3 10-second cranks, the battery was dead. Probably needs an alternator as it's the original.  And getting a 100+ amp vs the stock 50 or 60amp  is probably a good idea.  I'll probably buy a new battery as well. 
And the tires are from the early 80s so I should probably swap them out too. 
But it was sure fun taking her out!!

I totally understanding the feeling of finally finding and owning a rust free car of your dream. It is like you have been blessed and the car was waiting for you all these years. I say build it the way you want and start a build thread for us to follow. BTW, big welcome from California.
