dash harnes install

does anyone have any advice for a dash harness replacement I purchased one from corvette central, info such as procedure and the amount of time required would be great, the car is a 1964 conv. I will not be doing any detail work at this time however if it is recommended to replace anything while in there please let me know the car is a driver right now I am concerned with the down time thanks again

I did mine a few months ago in my 1965 convertible and it took me a good week. Methodically label every wire, go over the new harness so you know where to attach each wire, take lots of pictures, and lay the new harness next to the old and exchange connections one by one.

The best $12 you'll ever spend if you're doing any wiring on your car. Not a difficult job, just tedious.

Seems **** but trust me you'll forget when you are starting to reassemble everything. Make sure you get those tools recommended for the ***** and the 6" pieces to replace the screws from the cluster to slide it out. Good luck
