Again another question about my hackjob. 1972 cutlass that was a 350 w/column shift and AC, it was converted to a 455 w/floor shift and no AC. The guy who did it just cut and hacked everything and Im trying to put it back together. With the help of you guys on here I have rebuilt the steering column and bucket seats, and fixed my horn issue. Now while I was cruising ebay, found a guy selling a 1971 dash harness out of a cutlass with a floor shifter, and no AC. I thought that would be a good way of cleaning up all of the loose wires, and acutally having working lights/shifter on my console. ANyway, today I got the whole harness out with not too much trouble, and will put the new one in tomorrow. I just wanted to see if anyone has any experiences or advice about doing this? After comparing the 2, everything looks pretty much the same, sans the AC, and console. One thing I did notice is that is that my door jamb switches are different. On mine they just had the black and white slide on wire connectors, while the 71 has a white barrel shaped thing with 3 prongs.... do I need to get 71 door jamb switchs? Can I just slice them and crimp on new ends? If so what do I do with the extra black and white wire? Oh and one other thing it the glove box light. The old one has and assemply holding the light with a grey and orange wire soldered on. Cant seem to find anything like that on the new harness. Sorry for the long post, but I need some advice before I go about doing this.
