I had to take a Couple of months pause on my 80 SG project, to focus on my folks. I am planning to get back at it next month, hopefully.
One of the challenges that I will have to deal with on this project is the wiring in the headlight bucket area. The main wiring harness connectors are all Blade Style, and the Gauge pigtails are the round Barrel Style connectors. The previous owner had the Square Gauge cluster, obviously not SG. The gauges I sourced are supposed to be SG and look to be correct Cept-n-for the connectors.
I will have to slog through the wiring diagrams and figure out if the color codes and position of wires is correct. I want to change out the Barrel Style connectors for Blade Style connectors.
Does anyone have experience with this issue? I know there are sites for aftermarket compatible Connector/Blade Pin kits, any insight into preferred brand or site? I have the proper tool/crimper to do the job correctly, just have to be careful about wire lengths and such.
Any help will be great.
