Picture of 1971 choke cable switch and front center console cover with seat belt ligh

Long story short I had an electrical fire in the dash harness thanks to a Car Toys stereo install! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR THERE!! They only know plug and play installs. But I digress.

The entire dash, seats, etc is pulled and I am having a professional restorer completely redo the car. I bought a new correct dash wiring harness from a great guy on this forum. The only problem is that I know my center console is not a 1971 version as I have just a single choke lever hole and it has an arm rest cover instlled. But since I have it all apart the choke cable switch is long enough to reach up to the front of the center console. The front panel of the center console that covers the fuse block has the rear defroster switch to the left, Fasten Seat Belts in the middle I think and then orange light to the right. I think I can find the plug from the harness for the rear defroster which did work before the fire. The fasten seat belts light and choke lights never worked and we cannot find any plug for these on the original harness and the choke cable plug doesn't seem to have the proper mate on the harness we can find.

Any ideas on what years I am dealing with? We could not find where this all plugs into the new 1971 harness.

Anyone have these parts in a good condition they would be willing to part with if needed?

I did further investigation on ebay and the center fuse cover is from a 1973. Is there a good way to connect that into a 1971 harness or am I better off just not using the lights?
