Same here. Just got mine a few weeks ago and the wiring in it looks like it was installed by a drunken monkey with a brain tumor.

Re: want to rewire

Grab the dash/engine wiring from a donor car

It may be a good time to update to the later year wiring which was greatly simplified and well documented

Painless multi circuit kits are great for cars that never had modern wiring like old roadsters or classic cars updating from the glass fuses. Newer cars like 3rd gens are highly integrated so just slapping a kit on leads to more headaches than before

***sigh*** Once again, hope is the denial of reality. Oh well, if I didn't want to learn about automotive mechaanics I wouldn't have bought it in the shape it was in. lol

Re: want to rewire

Pre 85's are quite different, 85 is its own animal, 86-88 are similar - try to match carb with carb - EFI with EFI, 89 is specific, 90-92 interchange

Firebirds and camaros are specific with the dash harness. Interior options like power windows/locks etc are not part of the dash harness
