Anyone know what the other connector number would be for these? Had been hoping that they came with the mirrors but was not so lucky

If you're replacing an existing power mirror you should be able to depin/repin.

Thanks but no going to a new setup since mine is basically non working manual mirrors, probably just going to make them molex or something

Console is functionally done.
Although thankful for the suggestions, I doubt I'll add all kinds of chargers USB ports speakers etc.
I've got a 12v already, and it works.

I just needed something to hold my drinks, tapes, and my elbow.
Little black thing is what I was using. Has a spot for a cb mic and cigarettes. Wonder how old that thing is lol. Came with the car when I got it.

Soon ill paint the inside black and cover it in that short pile speaker carpet stuff. Might make the top lid squishy with foam and vinyl. We'll see.

Before working on the GTO decided to test drive the Monte before the rain came, did not go as we had hoped yet again. Really seems to hold first into 4k before shifting super hard into 2nd but then the 2nd to 3rd shift is normal and smooth. So have a call out to the rebuild shop to see what they think, then realized the hot start is not solved like we had hoped. Now debating on if the starter is getting heat soaked or what the issue could be because after 10 or 15 minutes of sitting it will start just fine

Maybe start planning on your test drives being a complete disaster and then perhaps you could be surprised by having everything go nice and smooth. It's worth a shot.

WOW!!! Haven't seen one of those in almost 30 years. My dad had one of those for the CB in his wagons in the late '70's up to early '90's.. I can remember those from as far back as '79.

May be as simple as a heat shield? 🤞As far as the transmission let’s hope it is some kind of adjustment.

it's paying off Chuck,you're almost there👍

It started yesterday and I got the cam break-in done. There are some leaks that I have to track down....but I know it runs and it maintained 80 lbs of oil pressure and the water temp stayed around 200. It fired up in about 3 seconds once all the components were working. Still many details to track down, but this was a big win. I got so excited, while videoing it, I let it run far too long to attach to this site, but it sounded healthy and it leaked out about half a gallon in the 40 minutes or so while I had it running over 3000 rpm/ It is from the back side of the engine somewhere. . I hope it is not intake...but nothing , I mean nothing ever goes my way. I would not pay myself for this rebuild...way too many mistakes!
