Default cluster question

Add me to the list of damaged souls who have removed restored and reinstalled the cluster(1967). My only issue is the capacitor mounted on the upper section of the cluster on the radio side with a light blue wire and a connector that looks like it mounts on a small stud ( no spade attached). Can't seem to figure that one out. Thanks

Get yourself an AIM Assembly Instruction Manual for your year Corvette and look in the options section where the radio shielding and capacitors are covered; all will be revealed.

Leif,

That's an extremely nice AIM sketch, it's so clear compared to the one I have. I would LOVE to be able to read one so nicely written. Where, pray tell, did you get it?

Gary

What does the tan wire power that the cap gets pinned to.

Gary,
I don't recall off hand. When I get home later this afternoon, I'll double check and let you know. Either the NCRS store or Corvette America, if memory serves.

Thanks Leif,

I think I'll order one from them. Hopefully, it looks as nice as yours.

Gary,
Let me know if they still sell them. If not, a couple of friends have recently bought their AIM from the NCRS store and they look every bit as nice as mine.
