Just went through your thread - happy to see another 68 being resurrected. They are without a doubt my favorite of all the 510s that we got here (of course my all time favorite 510 is the 69 SSS coupe).

 

The dash in your car is a 69 dash, but the photos that you showed of dash parts in the trunk are definitely 68. 68 pads are near imposable to find, which is why a 69 dash is probably in the car.

 

As for a 68 wiring harness; the wiring diagram in the back of the early Haynes manual (with the front cover cut away showing drum front brakes) is a 68 wiring diagram. I tried to include a scanned copy, but I didn't figure out how to attach the file....:mad: Gettin used to the site - is there a way to post attachments, or do I have to use another site?

 

Good luck on getting it on the road.

It's hard to see your wood stacks in the photo. It doesn't look very safe to me. I have seen a car fall on a guy (got there just after it happened). It is not a pretty sight! Jack stands are a worthwhile investment man!

[jnec510]

oh there very stout. wood glue screws an nails hold them things together. i always give the car a good hard shake.

[slodat]

Those blocks could split also. There's a reason people use jack stands. Are you really willing to bet your life on it? All it took was seeing a guy after having a car fall on him for me to never EVER cut corners when it comes to safety!!
