As a matter of fact, I just finished my 1995 V6 dash swap. The LT1 and the V6 are the same, so you should be fine. Im gonna post all my connections soon.

I know U did this along time ago, but if U remember any of it please help me out. Iv'e never done any kind of wiring before.
Right now Im trying to match up the wiring. Ive got a 3rdgen shop manual but can't match up some of the wires on the guages.
What I quoted above are the wires from the 4thgen guage that I can't figure out what to do with.
SO what did you do with these wires?????????
#1) A1 and A5(4thgen) is power feed for the guages. I have 5 wires on my 3rdgen harness (pnk/blk) that say power feed for guages. Did you just hook two of the 3rdgen wires up and leave the the other 3 unhooked?
#2) A13 on 4thgen "Power feed from PWR ACCY Fuse 7" Did U use this wire? I can't seem to find a match on my 3rdgen harness?
#3) A14 on 4thgen "Generator output indicator control" Same thing, can't find a matching wire on the 3rdgen harness. What did U do with it?
#4) B1 "Odometer illumination" can't find a 3rdgen wire to match it?
#5) B2 "IP illumination lamps feed" I have 3 thirdgen wires that match this function, did you just connect all three together or use one and leave the other two unused?
#6) B3 circuit 650 "gound"
#7) B15 circuit 451 "Ground"
what did you do with these two grounds, cause they are differnt circuits on the 4thgen harness. But I have two grounds on my thirdgen harness but they are the same circuit. So do the circuits matter? Or can I connect either ground on the 4thgen side to either ground on the 3rdgen side?
The wires I have left over on the 3rdgen harness to play with are,
lt blue- Choke
5x pink/blk- battery voltage from guage fuse, hot in run
2x black- Ground
3x gray - cluster illum, variable voltage with lights on

the gray illumination wire is usally hooked to dash lights, so when you turn your light switch ****, they will go dimmer and brighter accordinly
