I imagine my 81 OLDS electrical manual would have the schematic you are looking for ..... what section do you need?

wouldn't take you long to figure out if they are useless but yes, I really anticipate there being ZERO differences. I will see if I can copy them off my disk .... I try and handle the paper copies as little as possible. I bought ALL the factory manuals then later found it on CD-ROM.

Not exactly ZERO differences, thes olds IPC has two separate connectors, while the buick is set up more like the Chevy with one, However the routing of the wires is different (in the connector). The wires shoud be fairly uniform (color Coding wise), but your best bet, would probably be either find a FSM for the buick, or get the test light out, and a pad of paper, it's not as bad as you may think, I had to do it when I put the buick dash with cluster in my malibu.

Dixiemontecarlodepot.com has a setup for monte carlo with the gauges or without
