<VV> Corsa dash Install help

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 You don't really need a kit. If you plug the Corsa dash into the Monza harness, everything what was on the Monza dash will work on the Corsa dash. All you need to add is a wire for the tach and one for the CHT gage. If the Monza dash had a clock from the factory, that should be there too, otherwise you'll need to add this.  If you can get the terminals, they will snap into the Monza harness connector and away you go! With three wires, it isn't hard to figure out which these are. If you have a Corvair shop manual with the schematic with the pinout of the connector, it becomes utterly simple for someone with moderate electrical skills. 

For the vacuum line, just run a plastic 1/8" line from the fitting on the gage, parallel to the harness back to the engine, and connect it to a fitting in the intake manifold, which on the turbo is the hole in the front of what would be the carb flange on the head. Knock out the plug (put a rag in the manifold first!) and run a 1/8 NPT pipe tap, then install a fitting for the line, and that's it!

Subject: <VV> Corsa dash Install help


Hi: Does anyone know of or have  detailed step-by-step instructions on how to 
install a Corsa dash in a Monza.  I am looking for details as how do you modify 
the dash wiring harness for the tach and clock. Where do you connect the vacuum 
line on the engine for this gage? The head temp gage, what required to make this 
operational on a Monza. Does anyone offer a install kit for doing this?
 
I know what's needed, just looking for the details as to how to do it. 
 
Thanks
 
Rich D.
