Tom

I'm following your thread here, I like to see how others do things. Always looking for new ideals. I noticed you did'nt use a main power cut off switch is there a reason other than you just didn't want to.

I did use one but didn't want to post where it was located in the car.  I bought it with the wiring kit and put it in line with the positive side of the battery.

I understand, have you seen the latching solenoid made by Cole Hersee part#24200 ?

Just googled it.  That's the first time I've seen one.  Is that what you plan to use?

Yes it is, with a simple push of a momentary switch I will be able to kill the power from the battery, will just have to hide a small switch somewhere.

Tom, did you make that gorgeous battery hold down strap?  What a beauty!

Thanks, I modeled it in 3D CAD and my friend used the model to create his tool paths and cut it.  Once he cuts my dash panel, hopefully this week, I can install my gauges and continue this thread.

Now that I finished the black walnut dash panel it’s time to wire the dash.  I chose Auto Meter gauges, the electric speedometer, electric tachometer and the quad gauge.  The Ron Francis wire kit bag “D” had three different harnesses with plugs and all wires were marked.  The first was a 3 prong for the left and right directionals and the high beam indicator.  The second was a 4 prong for the water temperature, oil pressure, gas gauge and the tachometer.  The third was an 8 prong it had positive and negative leads for the gauges, dash light feeds and two wires for the electric speedometer.  I followed the instructions that came with the gauges and got the dash wired.  Picture 4 may look a little messy but once I mount the dash I'll get some ty-raps and tuck everything away.  Now I’ll need to wire the other end of the three harnesses and plug them in.

Here is a picture of the dash and the way I attached the directional and high beam indicator lights.

Toam that's some real nice work and the dash looks great especially with the guages installed. You're one to watch....John

Today I finished Bag E which connects the plug from the Ididit column (the column has a GM plug on it) to the rest of the harness.  I made 3 connections to the fuse block and the remaining wires went to the front and rear turn signals and one to the brake light switch.  There were three wires left from the dash that had to be spliced into these.  They were the left and right turn signal indicators and the high beam indicator.

The plug that came on the column was wider than needed and had some empty slots so I trimmed it.

Next was Bag F, the headlight switch.  Part of it was hooking up the plug to the floor mounted dimmer switch.  Of the three wires from there, one went to the panel and the other two went to the head lights.  From the head light switch wires went out front to the parking lights and out back to the tail lights.  Since I haven't mounted the head lights or tail lights yet I'll make these connections later.  The head light wires went down through a rubber grommet in the floor along the drivers side frame rail towards the grill.  The tail light wires will stay in the interior of the car under the carpet and exit through rubber grommets at the rear of the car.

I wired the 700R4 Transmission to the switch on the dash.  I picked up a normally open switch and Omron #21911C relay.  I used the attached schematic to wire everything so driving around town and back roads the converter will not lock.  Then if I go on the highway and pull the switch, the converter can lock and will release when I touch the brake pedal.
