Default Dash wiring

I have a 69, sbc, non ac, standard trans. I'm replacing the dash wiring harness. What book/ manual do I need that shows the routing of harness.
Thanks

Get a copy of the Assembly Instruction manual for your year Corvette. All the Corvette vendors carry them.

GBC,
If you looking for where the wires all connect, rather than how they actually route through the dash, pop over to eBay and buy this year/model specific diagram:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-69-Cor...MAAOSwNphWXarb

They are VERY affordable at only $17.95. I buy one for every collector car I have. They are large, 11 X 17 with heavy lamination so they don't get beat up. And most importantly, they are color coded to the exact same combination as your car's harness so they are super easy to follow, unlike some black and white diagrams.
Good luck, Greg

For the center dash cluster it's pretty much plug and play. You can't plug up a gauge, wiper switch or anything else because the connectors were all different.... As far as routing the dash main behind the left dash pad.... Here is the 1968-1970 Early dash wiring route.



Also, you might want to review the left hand dash pad installation paper we did a few years back.... Removing the steering column is the smartest and easiest way to get the pad back in place without damaging it. http://repairs.willcoxcorvette.com/1...h-pad-removal/
