Re: should I do an electrical thread
I know I would like a better understanding of the dash wiring. I want to add new gauges and would like to know how to pull that connector plug that plugs into the back of a stock GMC dash and cut the connector off and wire that to my new gauges. Anything along those lines would be great.

Re: should I do an electrical thread
I started a thread called 60-66 wiring basics
I will expand on it when I have time and will try to keep it understandable
