Camaro harness will not fit. Is the dash digital or analog? They are not interchangeable.

Its not easy as the dash harness is massive. Bring a cordless drill and a few bits to remove the bulkhead connector near the tank

Some include the taillight wiring and make it even bigger of a job

Thank you! I had no idea I'd need my cordless drill and it's a couple hours away. So the connector is on the bulkhead on the driver side?

I meant the MAIN connector. I know where the one is near the fuel tank. :-)

Re: 88 Formula wiring harness

The one near the brake booster bolts in. Pray those little bolts arent rusted and spin in the plastic coupler or you will pay hell getting it apart

The fuel tank bulkhead is the only one that needs to be drilled out
