Hi, I'm converting my 1978 Vette from manual to power windows.All from a donor car.Appears I have all the parts,but the wiring harness looks a little intimidating.Anybody got a source for the wiring diagrams??? Thanks Rick

I'll give you another tip, you can use a 12vdc power source and run the windows by touching spade connector at motor terminal and grounding motor body. One spade terminal is up and the other is down, you will probably need to move assemblies while installing windows, have fun and stock up on Band-Aids
