Back again after the long cold spell and no progress. BORING! Was finally able to get the trunk wiring 'in place', down along the fenders and some up into the trunk lid. Not connected yet, everything will be hooked to a new terminal block. Crawled up front today and dropped the heater control. Then pulled out the real A/C vent flap controls, Needs a good cleaning & lubrication. Got a new rubber gasket for the outside. Looks like it just sits in a channel. Will pick out the old dry one and clean it good. Got the radio out! Holy cow, what a monster. Will check it, but have strong feelings to forget that beastly thing. There is a no-radio plate for the hole. The cluster project is still waiting. See I can disconnect the oil line and temp line under the hood, Then pull them thru the now removed grommet hole in the firewall. Both will mean no driving/starting. The temp looks like a 'nut' screwed into the block. Thought about just removing the gauge, but that would leave the delicate needles exposed to damage. The housing that holds the cluster also has 4 switches attached. More wires that need attention. If anything works when done it will be a miracle.
