I recently purchased an "exact reproduction" 1967 main dash wiring harness from one of the major manufacturers. When compared to the original harness, there are several notable differences among which are the dash light sockets are plastic vice metal like the original and the ignition switch plug is solid black and the original is a translucent white color. I called the company's tech support number and the tech rep told me that all 67 harnesses used platic light sockets starting with middle of the model year production and that he hever heard of an ignition switch colored like mine! My car is a mid February production, my third 67 vette and all the dash harnesses were alike. Anyone else have a similar experience with a repo harness? Does anyone in fact make an "exact reproduction" harness? Are plastic dash light sockets correct for late production 67 vettes?

Re: 1967 main Dash Harness
You can switch the ignition switch plug from the original harness which is what I did for my October 66 production coupe. All of my dash light sockets on my original harness were cad plated metal sockets while the the sockets on the replacement harness were plastic. You can switch the sockets if you are patient and good with a soldering iron. -

I have a March 67 car and all the sockets are cad plated steel.Comment

As were all throughout the year. Unfortunately, the original manufacturer does not make the part any longer. (My former employer)Bill Clupper #618Comment

Re: C1 Windshield weatherstrip
Along the wiring harness and dash topic, last week a friend spoke with a man who installed the dash in Corvettes from about 1965 til the move to BG. He was given 6 minutes to install the assembled dash. The dash was complete with radio, glove box and door, heater controls, cluster, etc. He indicated that A/C made the job a lot harder.Comment
