Default driver side dash install 68 vert

Are the speedometer and tach cables routed under or above the wire harness?

You should really purchase an AIM, it's well worth the money and you'll find alot of your answers in it.

These should help.

Here I'm pointing to the harness.


And in this one I'm pointing out where the speedo cable attaches.

its a frigging nitemare trying to stuff everything back there,
and not dissconnect something else !
be very careful of the sharp edges on the column mount it is rough casting,
and can cut into wires, I split some rubber hose and covered the sharp edges to avoid a short/Fire ! ... good luck ! 69VETT

ive got one. i knew where it hooked up but wondered how to route it so that putting the dash back would go smoother. I disconnected them and the dash went in easy.
thanks
