INSTALLATION:
The design of this harness allows for the installation of many different types of gauge clusters and special gauge packages in the 1955-56 Chevrolet. We have designed this kit
so that any gauge cluster can be used by providing for a cluster disconnect in our under dash harness. Following are the wires and functions of those wires in the gauge cluster
connection kit. Terminals and connectors are provided for installation to a stock 1955-56 dash cluster. However, the stock cluster does not use all the provided wires. See the
overall schematic for a pictorial representation of the following circuit descriptions:

This pigtail assembly will be used on stock 1955-56 instrument clusters. It may also be wired in if the cluster design you
have created for your car includes the provision for a GEN /ALTERNATOR light. Plug this pigtail into the connector with the
two brown wires located on the dash harness next to the instrument cluster connectors. Otherwise, the bulb socket pigtail
will not be used and the mating connector should be taped back against the harness.
Use this wire as a ground lead for individual gauges requiring separate grounds or any gauge control unit requiring a
chassis ground.
Connect this wire to the sender lead of your tachometer. This wire is supplied loose piece and must be plugged into the
mating cluster connector so as to maintain color continuity with its mating connector.
This wire is used on digital dash assemblies that require a signal that the Lamp Intensitylights have been turned on so that
the digital display can be dimmed. It is wired to the rear body circuit in the under dash harness and provides a 12 volt signal
when the rear tail lights are turned on from the headlight switch. This wire is supplied loose piece and must be plugged into
the mating cluster connector so as to maintain color continuity with its mating connector.
PUPLE / YELLOW WIRES: If you are using and electric speedometer, it will be necessary to use these wires for the speedometer sensor.
Each wire has a mating terminal to the other (same color) wire. Plug the female into an unused cavity in connector A. Plug the mating male
into the mating cavity on the dash harness connector. Route the other ends to your speed sensor and speedometer, and connect per the
manufacturer s instructions.
WHITE WIRE: If you are using a tachometer, it will be necessary to plug the loose white wire into connector A, maintaining color continuity
with the white wire on the dash harness. Connect the other end to the tachometer, following the manufacturer s instructions.
BROWN WIRE: If you are using a Dakota Digital instrument cluster, it will be necessary to plug the loose brown wire into connector A,
maintaining color continuity with the brown wire on the dash harness. This is needed to dim the panel lights when the exterior lights are on
(to reduce eye strain).
