Putting new harness in my 66 coupe previously converted to 12 volt. Following the Bentley diagram and I realize I have an 8 fuse panel but wring from the 10 fuse diagram. Will the 10 fuse panel box fit with or without mods? TIA

I believe it is wider, I can measure mine in the 71 if you would like.

the 10 way is wider and won't fit unless you widen the slot. Why not just follow the '66 diagram. Its already been converted to 12 volts so the components are ably to cope with 12 volts. The schematic will still work.

Thanks for the responses! I don't want to modify the car in a permanent way so I guess I'll just follow the 66 diagram.
