Hello David,

I know this is an old post from when you had your wiring issues but I find myself exactly where you were trying to hunt down what I believe to be a grounding issue also with my 69 Camaro. I am wondering how you found those fractured wiring in your steering column. I have re-grounded everything I could find, like you did but I can't find the fault and I still get 10 volts at the rear light sockets, also dim dash lights, very slow windshield wiper action, and my gas gauge works but goes from 9 O'clock empty to 1/2 full reading when the tank is full. Short of pulling the whole dash and wiring harness out of the car I am looking for the main dash wiring harness ground. I found one ground wiring next to the e-brake mechanism and that is good and clean now, one wire ground under the dash next to the ash tray area and that's good clean and tight. The wiring diagram shows a harness ground with about 6-8 black wiring joining at one point but I can find that point,(maybe it's behind the fuse block?, any ideas where that is before I pull the whole darn thing to pieces.

I would greatly appreciate any help,

Thanks
Grant

Thanks...half the fun is doing by your self ...right? Paint and convertible tops I confess are beyond my limitations though and maybe be tachometer overhauls too.

 Hey Andy - I am looking into the rebuild mine now and I'll let you know the cost. Thanks for the headsup on the marker, never thought of that. I do like the in dash tach look but the price is a bit of a deterrent and the car didn't come with it, I also agree if you don't know when to shift you'll have bigger problems. My car is just in now for paint and a new cont. top to follow so I have to write some hefty check soon. check out the Instument Specialites Inc they appear to do some nice instrument work. Last night I checked over all the posting from everyone and saw the wiring pics and comment, I guess I just jumped to your post without looking around at the others.
Very nice job with your wiring btw....when can I drop my car off?

Thanks again I'll keep you posted.

Grant

 Abiddle - Thanks so much for the offer I might take you up on that when I get ready to install the tach. I know there is a guy in RI that rebuilds these and mine is in tough shape as you can see by the pictures. I'm just new to this site and can't believe what a great resource this is and hats off to all the people who put it together and contribute, it makes it much more fun to restore my car knowing there is a nice bunch of knowledgeable people to talk to. Bare with me and I'll try and get these pictures on the site.
I hope this helps you.

Abiddle - I have an original GM accessory tach that came with my car and I'm the second owner of a 69 Camaro SS. My tach has the "GM" embossed logo, I am extremely confident this came with the car. I took it out years ago and shelved it but now being original to the car I am going to re-install it but I don't have the wiring diagram either. (blue, blk, orange, white) did you ever figure out the correct wiring?
