So i just rebuilt my dash and wiring harness for my 71. I was wondering if there was a way to bench test the whole system before i put it back in the car.

If you had access to the test stand the IP builders had back in the day you could do that.

Maybe pull the front seats and console, lay the dash in over the steering column, hook up as much of it as you can (bulkhead, rear wiring, door switches, column harnesses, etc.), then start testing.

If you're electrically inclined, you could rig up your own test setup and test most of it with a volt-ohm-meter and a 12 volt battery.
