Hey all,
A little back story - approximately 10 years ago, I swapped a perfect dash into my 86 SS to replace the cracked one that was in there. At the time, I was gung-ho about the project, and I left some of the wiring and stereo stuff in there "dangling" because I was going to get to it any day. Fast forward, and now I have a bunch of wiring and sh*t that I don't know where it goes anymore. I am in the middle of trying to install a VHX gauge cluster, so I have the gauge pod out of the car, and all the trim off the dash. I am hoping yall can help.
1) Where does the "convenience center" box mount, and does it just rest somewhere, or does it screw in?
2) Where are the mount points for all the under-dash lights?
3) Does the VHX gauges require me to cut off the "18-pin" connector that used to clip to the dash - and will I use all of those wires for the new gauges?
4) If anyone has pictures of the factory routing of the wiring, or what you would consider "neat" looking wiring, I'd love to see it, as mine is a rats nest right now and I'd love to clean it up and remove what I can.
More to come I'm sure as I get more into this.
