Time for an upgrade and cleaning up some old wiring issues…..

I finally got time to get some pictures of my new dash from Autometer. I had ordered this piece last year but the delivery kept going on and on so I canceled the order. This time it was here in 10 days. I hope to start working on the dash this weekend if everything goes well.

Making progress on this project given that I don’t have a garage big enough to put the car in. I got tired of the cheap imitation starter relays that only seem to work for a very short time so I changed the wiring and put a real 2 post relay in and boy what a difference. It is isolated and the neutral safety switch is fully functional.

Yesterday I was able to pull the old instrument cluster out and really have a good look at the wiring harness. Tagged the indicator lights and it looks like some one has been in there so I will clean up and wrap the wiring on both the headlight and wiper harnesses.

Returned to the dash project today. Put the turn signal and brake and high beam indicators in and bolted the gauges in the panel. I still have lots of wiring in the dash to clean up. l am also going to clean up the engine compartment wiring and relocate some pieces to make it more presentable.

Dash upgrade is in and speedometer is calibrated and is within 1 mph of the gps. Definitely looks much nicer. I also upgraded the charging cable from the alternator to a single 4 gauge to the battery. The wiper switch was tricky and I had to run a ground wire but everything works great now.
