I am thinking of putting an SS dash in one of my malibus and am wondering if the the dash wiring harness is different or if I'll be able to use the present one. Any help is appreciated.

DG Apr 5th, 99, 5:54 PM I know the harness is listed for the SS dash and the standard dash in Year One, etc...So they must be different enuff. ------------------ DG Springfield, Ohio 70 Chevelle Malibu dga@erinet.com www.wright.edu/~s001dga/chevy.htm (http://www.wright.edu/~s001dga/chevy.htm) Havoc Apr 5th, 99, 6:25 PM the harnesses are totally different. and the big problem is that the dash harness and fuse box are all one unit, so it's a very expensive conversion. however, if you are getting your dash from an existing SS, just be sure to snag the wiring harness and you'll be set. if you're changing dashes, changing the harness isn't much more work at all. the harnesses also differ between the SS dashes that had idiot lights and the true guage-style SS dashes with the tach and stuff. my dad and i had the oportunity to get an entire dash harness and instrument cluster for $75 at a swap meet and passed it up cause the tach had the small block redline on it. we are still kicking ourselves in the butts over it. ------------------ Ian McDermott 1970 Chevelle SS 396 Columbia University New York, NY.
