<VV> Corsa Dash Install questions

[J R Read]

Hi Leland,

Please don't misunderstand.  There was no intent to fault you in any way AND 
the information that you provided was certainly important to someone who 
might be performing a serious "transplant" as you did.  I was merely trying 
to point out to the original poster that "bypass surgery" would likely be 
plenty sufficient.

J. R. I agree that what I described is probably overkill for him. I was just 
trying to document what I had to do to a '65 Monza with non-stock engine, 
transaxle, and the Corsa instrument panel. The main reason I put all this 
effort into my project was to end up with wiring that matched the wiring 
diagram in the shop manual.

Hi Leland,
That sounds to me like a bit of overkill - especially if his engine is not a 
turbo and if he did not change the tranny and (maybe - probably?) does not 
have the buzzer. I see it as two wires and a vacuum line from engine to 
dash. A wire for the thermister (to install in left head), a wire for the 
tach, and a line for the boost gauge (which will never read above zero in a 
non-turbo). I see no need to change the wiring on the oil pressure sender 
and the temp switch in the right head. Now, combining those two additional 
wires into the original front to back harness is really a matter of choice - 
primarily for appearance purposes.

Am I missing something?

Would like to know what's involved with installing a Corsa dash in a Monza
- it's a 1966.
1. How do you attached this to the Monza's wiring harness so everything
works, what modifications are needed if any.
