I learned the hard way that the wire locations in the fuse box/firewall connector did change from year to year. I used a 1970 engine and fwd lamp harness on my 69 442 and many of the wires were swapped around in the connector. I had to remove them and reinstall them in the correct locations for a 69. You need the Chassis Service Manual, not the assembly manual, for this info.
