Re: I suck at reading wiring diagrams..
Last night I was hooking up the wiring for the gauge cluster and I have a few questions.
in the EZ wiring manual it says there is a white wire called "brake switch" that connects to the steering column wires. first question is why? and secondly where does it end up? because it is among my cab wiring, but isn't mentioned anywhere else in the manual. thirdly I'm confused because of the name: I have ofcourse the brake switch near the pedal who engaged the break lights when braking. but I also have the switch in my brake power distributor which turns on the warning light in the dash in case of a brake failure..(atleast I guess thats what it's for) any help would be highly appreciated!

You're welcome but don't ask me about computers or I-pods or cell phones or you'd wouldn't be saying that. LOL

Re: I suck at reading wiring diagrams..
Just took a 350 out of my C10 for a new L83. Marrying the ignition to the computer is beyond my 72 year old brain. A lot of what you have written helps. Everything will be stand alone. Engine needs hot to starter and one wire to cpu. AC will be stand alone as will be lights.
