I have the dash out of my 83 Z and almost the full interior and need some help.

Motor is a carbed BBC so as you know there is a lot of wiring I don't need and have been doing a lot of cutting.

The Haynes manual helps some but I am used to REAL wiring schematics (like on an aircraft) so I am a little nervous with a few things.

I don't need the wiring for the water temp, oil pressure or voltage. Can anyone tell me what wire to cut from the two wire bundles that pulg into the gauge cluster so I know for sure?

Also what other wires can I cut? I only need ignition, lights, turn signals.
Everything else is aftermaket and wired in its on way. I may even re-wire the ignition, right now its partly dependant on the original wiring but just for the distributor. Want to keep the power windows, mirrors, and locks.

Allready cut the wiring for the stereo, a few of the lights, HVAC, little things like that.

It almost looks like I may be able to ditch one of the fuse blocks but I don't know yet.


I also pulled the battery and motor and all before I pulled the power seat. I know I can use a abttery and some leads and move it that way threw the harness, what wires do I need to plug into so I don't burn it up?

It has fuses in some of the TBI slots but I am pretty sure it was carbed but who knows.

Pictures with arrows work of if you tell me were to go with a little detail then that works also.

Thanks!
