Electrical help, dash wiring, the plastic sheet.
« on: May 17, 2002, 10:55:00 PM »
The plastic wire sheet behind the guages that has power running through it. Will a newer one 82-87 replace the older one in my 76?
I dont have any guages that require the old full sheet anymore and it atually caught on fire, so I was thing about replacing the sheet that goes behing the guage pod with a smaller newer style dumbie guage type instead of a full guage style.
Will it work, are the connectins the same??
LOL, hate when I have to rush questions.
Thanks

Clint.

The newer circuit sheet WILL fit the old guage panel, but WILL NOT have the correct circuit pattern to make the gauges work properly.
