Default Under dash pictures?

I need to see some pictures of the dash wiring for a 1971. I have the dash out and would like to make sure I have the wiring routed correctly before putting the lower dashes back in.

I took the fuse block out and am trying to figure out how to get it back in place (lots of wires) because it doesn't look like it will go back in place with all the wires there.

If you took out the fuse block you are much braver than I am.

I'm trying to stop myself from doing just that sort of thing.......

I think the drawings in the Assembly Instruction Manual are the most help in routing the dash wireing harness. Photos with the dash pads out don't /can't really show how the harness lays and of course with the pads in place you can't see what you need to know. ?!?!?

I have lots of pictures of my 71' under dash. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you. The AIM is useful too.

Also, how about filling out your profile so we know where you are and what you have.

Taking out the fuse block is nothing. Bubba stripped out the center bolt in mine so I had to take the fuse block out and transfer each individual wire to another plastic housing which by the way, I bought a used plastic housing at the local boneyard from an old 72 Nova for five bucks. They are the same and a whole lot cheaper than buying a whole new corvette harness.

I've got a ton of pictures of the dash wiring on my website @ www.corvette-restoration.com

This is the first update dealing with the dash disassembly.

Good luck! I have other pictures if you need something specific.

I agree, I used the AIM and DR. Rebuilds OOOSO EASY wiring diagram, it took some time, but she runs (and everything works) now! Good Luck!!

Default Thanks for the pics.

I appreciate all the responses. I figured out where my confusion was coming from--the guy that I had chase all the wiring to make sure everything was okay unwound all the tape on the harness, so I was looking at a bunch of wire and trying to figure out how it all fit. I will get to work on bundling the main harness the way it should be and that should help with placement.

By the way, I filled out my proflie and included a pic of my car as the avitar.

Thanks again,

Tim

Tim,
71s are my favorites. Next time maybe you could find one that's a nice BRIGHT color.
Regards,
Alan
