I have searched this site with as many combinations of "back up", "reverse", "switch", "harness", "wiring", and "routing" as I can think of and I still cannot find how the damned 68 Firebird muncie reverse light switch wires are routed into the interior and attach to the dash harness. I'm guessing the relevant information is too old to come up in the first 200 results. I'm surprised it's not in the Hall of Fame. I've tried looking in the service manual, diagnostic manual, body manual, etc. and I'm at a stopping point.
Anyway, could any of you fine individuals help me out? I could use pictures too if you got them. I have a pink and light green connector on my harness that seems right according to the wiring diagram, but it cannot connect with the black and blue harness I just got that is supposed to connect to the switch.
So you are saying the column harness does have something to do with them.? I have tried a couple different harness too and still nothing. the green wire in the switch has power out but I loose it somewhere to the back. Still banging my head!! lol
Hello all, After connecting everything under the dash, I find my tail lights do not work! I have hooked up direct power to them and they work fine. Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated. One thought of mine is, Does the circuit go thru the steering column and could the harness be bad there? Help needed please. Everything else works like they should.
If it really is a '70 LT1 it could be sold to a chevvy guy looking for one for a resto. The money that would bring could pay for a Pontiac engine with enough left over for a decent paint job.
Hi All I’m at my wits end fighting this. I have a 428 engine in my 1969 Firebird.
The car starts and runs well but for some reason I get a loud high pitched squeal starting around 3k RPM but runs well. It sounds just like a belt squeal but isn’t. I’ve removed the belt from the alternator and still get the squeal. I then removed the belt from the Power steering pump and still have the squeal.
I’ve replaced the water pump already and also the alternator and both belts. No joy. Same thing
Hi Does anyone have a copy of the diagram of the timing marks location on the sprockets when the distributor is at #1 cylinder location? Thanks in advance.
Agreed, the Ames repros are excellent. Here's a comparison of one of the rear mats I purchased from a Pontiac dealer in 1969 and one from Ames. (Those curled edges are expected on the rears as they are not a perfect fit and never were.)
I was looking over my insurance paperwork and thought that in today's market my "agreed" values on two of the cars was too low. I called my agent and upped the 'Bird from 28k to 35k and the Solstice from 14k to 18k. Got the bill yesterday for the changes........$47.91. No appraisal required. It had been 4 years.
