- I will show how each of the switches get installed for the dash electrical components. Headlight, wiper/washer, cigarette lighter, gauge cluster etc. You will be able to see the plug and the switch connectors so you can match up the components on you 1970s GM classic car.
Some really great harness info and pics at this link!

I love watching your videos. You are doing a really great job! Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to see her on the road!
Thank you so much! 🤘
This is great I have a 71’ and I’m about to rebuild the dash! Thank you!
Sweet. Glad I could help!
Looking good Nate ! I am right with you on progress . Interior time for me now also .
Right on! Super satisfying for sure!
the cars looking sweet!! your almost there
Thanks! So close! I wish it wasn't so darn cold out in the garage right now! Wonder what my wifey would think if a started reupholstering the seats in our living room next to the woodburner 😃🤘
Nice information. Did two TA dashes recently, both 1981 models. The ground strap next to the headlight switch is for the main instrument cluster. You don't need to make a provision for a 3rd ground wire you talked about. Also recommended is replacement of all the light bulbs with new, especially for the main cluster as you don't want to chase old bulbs that burn down the road and force you to drop the column, disengage the speedo etc to replace a single bulb.
Right on! Thanks for the extra info. I’m hoping to upgrade to intelitronix or Dakota
Digital so I went cheap and reused the bulbs lol. I’m also a huge fan of redundant grounds to help avoid any issues down the road. Thanks buddy!
Every time I watch one of your videos it brings back memories of me messing with mine…. I think I’m gonna have to get another firebird now that I’m nearly done with the camaro…
Hell yeah! Ya can never have too many, that's for sure! There are soo many different makes/models i would love to work on someday.
For 78-81 models the lighter live wire changed from pin terminal to spade, same colours.
I love all these tid bits of information about these cars! Thanks for sharing and checking out the video.
Very true.
Good tip about the headlight switch before the wipers. I gotta get one of your shirts. I'll make sure to wear it in one of my videos,LOL Actually you have given me and others a lot of inspiration with this project, Its great to see it finishing up.
Awesome! I appreciate the kind words!
great vid Nath -
Awesome brother. Thanks for the feedback.
great content, thank you. Subscribed !!!!!
Thanks Mark! Much appreciated!
looking good.
Thank ya sir! It is coming along nicely!
Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. Do you have one for the radio installation with all the wires? Thanks..
I do not have a video for the stock radio. I installed a headless hideaway unit.
Great info on dash components and assembly. Does your car have the wiring provisions for the optional gauge cluster?
It does not. There was a separate harness and printed circuit for cars with the rally gauges. For rally gauge and non rally gauge cars, the fuel gauge was in a different location. Rally has a clock and a tach. Plus oil, coolant and volt gauges. The non rally car had dummy lights only for oil psi and engine temp and amps. I had looked into that since I was kinda hoping I could just buy the rally gauges and plug them in. It’s all good. I really like the intellitronics gauges. Might upgrade later on down the road.
Do you have any videos of engine wiring from ignition switch to neutral safety switch and starter?
Unfortunately not. I’m running the stock wiring harness.
@@HeavyPedalGarage no worries at all! I am trouble shooting my 76 firebird that I picked up. The previous owner had it hotwired to get it running with a wire contact from the starter to tap the battery. I am working on reconnecting some wires and troubleshooting to get the key to turn the engine over. It gets power, but it won’t turn the engine over. I connected a new wire that was cut from the bulkhead to the starter, but I think my next play is to check out the neutral safety switch and ignition switch.
where can I find new or refurbished one for trans am 1979 ?
Try “classic industries” or “Ames”
Great! Please, can you share the wiring diagrams?
A couple links to some great info/pics/diagrams are in the description of this video. Thanks for checking out my channel!
@@HeavyPedalGarage Thank you so much!
What glue did you use for your bezel rings?
i think i used JB weld
Is there any way that I could purchase the original Climate Control Vacuum hoses from you? I'm resto'ing a 78' and I realized when I was taking the busted dash out for a new one that I'm missing the light blue and yellow hoses.....😅
Hey bud,. thanks for checking out the channel. Im hanging on to all the HVAC stuff for another project. i did see some on ebay. Hope it all works out for ya. Thanks.
Enjoyed the vid, but found the LS shirt deeply disturbing. Remember, there could be children watching the channel....
Right on. Lol. Shirt says LSX Hunter so I guess it could get graphic every now and then. 🤘
