<VV> Corsa dash Install help

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

John is correct. You can easily rig wires from the tach down through the  
drive tunnel to the engine compartment.  I did this many years ago on a  
Monza, but I didn't try to make the clock work (it's a POS) nor did I try to  
make the Vac. gauge work (too small) rather I installed a separate vac. gauge 
in  an accessory panel below the radio.) The messiest part of the job was 
cutting  the Corsa panel for the L.H. A/C outlet (my wife refused to ride in a 
car  without A/C in Texas.)

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!

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.
