I went back and wreaked havoc on that poor BII some more.
Started with this (from when I pulled the cruise)
Looked like this when I was done:
I ended up with this, a complete dash support with a pretty much intact dash harness (for a tach setup) I will probably just repin the one connector for the tach to work per Shran's writeup but when I pull the dash to fix the floor all of this is going in with new paint.
Also kinda miffled on the cruise. My truck only has two wires going to the VSS, the BII had three up near the servo but also only two at the VSS. I tried to backtrack the harness but the factory tape was still good and it was all intertwined with the fuel pump harness. No idea where the third wire enters the picture at...
Stuff is kind getting built up/overwhelming to me:
1. I want to get the D35 in so I can get it aligned - still needs wheel bearings, rotors, brake lines and steering linkage aside from outer TRE's.
2. I want to replace the DS floor board and kick panel before it gets worse. This all included gutting the interior and a as of yet to be determined amount of wiring.
3. I have to fix a fuel tank leak that just popped up this weekend, seems to be behind the plastic shield at the front of the tank. I can't cut/weld floorboards with the front of the tank soaked in gas and I really don't like it leaking gas in my garage. Seems to be more of a ooz than a gusher so I think it is up high on the tank. I have to remove at least the front strap to see anything at all though.
