Here's a link that may be helpful (scroll down a bit for the instrument panel stuff):

Re: gauge wire color

Would the instrument panel pinout diagram help? (it's from the same site - ATGO)
It's for 91-92 Camaro models so of course the connectors don't match but at least the wire colors should be identical.

Re: gauge wire color

So I have the same problem in my 86 2.8L V6 5-speed manual camaro, I just recently bought it and my Speedometer is not working. I have one red whire hanging from the drivers side wire cluster. I'm hoping this is my speedometer problem?? Any advice would be helpful, I looked at the wiring diagrams posted on this forum and I couldn't make sense of it thanks.

Your 86 Camaro would have a mechanical speedo. Check the speedo head itself, the cable, or the drive/driven gear.
