Location: Perth Australia | Good question
There wouldnt be that much different between the 2, but the question is, whats wrong with yours?
Unless its really been butchered or badly smoked up, you will find its not really that hard to fix (time consuming, yes, but not hard)
The hardest part is getting everything dis connected (which you have to do anyway) and hooking it all back up.
The NOS harness most likely is not factory air (if yours is), so those wires wont be there and you will also find that the harness is in sections, so unless its a complete harness (with all the sections), you will find some of it wont match.
I am not sure if your 61 has an alternator or not, but if so, the plymouth had a generator, so that part will be different (separate harness on the 60 as well).
Really, if its cheap enough, it might be worth it anyway, just to get the plugs and stuff, but I would hate to kill a NOS harness that someone with a 60 plymouth would just about kill for

Location: SOUTH DUNEDIN NEW ZEALAND | hi mick thanks for your reply , ok my 61 dodge is under full rebuild I have the dash out and some of the loom has been repaired. the new loom is complete from dash to head lights and if it doesn't fit it could be a spare for my 60 fury convertible he is asking $420 nz
thanks

Location: Perth Australia | $420 in Kiwi coin is a bargain, you should already have it there even if it is a reproduction.
I know there is no way I could make that harness for that much
