Why not eBay? you may be able to find a "lightly" used harness from an appropriate dodge or Chrysler product that uses your engines?
Try for a Repair manual or electrical repair segment for an appropriate Chrysler product with your engine.

SOURCE: #1 wire location on distributor cap 1979 chrysler 318

looked at close-up photo of engine posted on web. Or take out plug to # 1 cylinder, put finger over hole, turn over engine utill you feel compression, then stick pencil in hole and keep turning engine untill pencil reaches highest point. that should be TDC. look to see where rotor is- thats #1.

I keep asking the same question for a 1971 dodge 318-1 v8 engine and get every year but what im asking

The firing order for a Dodge 318cid/5.2L is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise rotation.
Cylinders are numbered like this.
Pass side 2-4-6-8 front to rear.
Driver side 1-3-5-7 front to rear.
The firing order is probably forged into the intake manifold. Number one tower on the distributor cap is the one facing the number one plug or the driver-side headlight.
Distributor rotor at Number 1 plug terminal points to front intake bolt on left side of engine.

1996 Dodge Dakota A/C ...plus blower motor problem

You may have 2 problems - the blower motor I believe should have power all the time and the speed is controlled by grounding the circuit through the various resistors. I think you need to get some wiring diagrams.
