Default First Vette

I walk out into my garage and see my '77 vette and I can hardly believe I finally got a stingray - I can hardly believe that my wife is in full support of this project (I got a vette, she got unlimited pedicures). Anyway, thanks for the forum, I'm sure I'll have a hundred of noob questions for you guys.

Here's my first noob question: what is the key lock on the driver's side for? When I bought it, I thought it was a hood lock, but it has about 4-5 wires going to it. Please don't flame me too bad...LOL

Here is my attempt of posting that picture:

That is how the alarm system is armed. It was on the rear panel until 1973 and then moved to the driver's front fender for 1974-1976, and then integrated into the driver's side door lock in 1977 and continued through the rest of the C3 production.
