You can thank me later.

Also, some cars had wig-wags (per the TX guys in the know), so check your headlight harness to verify if your car had one or not.

This is the stuff that is braille to me, so bear with me.

Two rear-views, check. Where should I check in the headlight harness for a split-off for wig-wags?

Also, would a Federal BP100 speaker be correct? Any idea where it would mount? And does anyone have the faintest idea how they attached the Decatur (which I think I will use) and the Responder to the dash? I don't usually see screw holes...

From pictures of the '83 on this site, it looks like the GE radiohead and PA200 should be mounted under the dash, in place of the ash tray correct? But leave the cigarette plug in for the responder?

Sorry for the questions here guys.

And here is a sneak preview. Incorrect wheels of course, and no equipment yet!

I'd start at the headlights and work my way back. Most of the correct flashers were installed in the engine compartment, with the splices done at the lights.

Thanks Mike, that's the first thing I'll check.

Since I'm asking all of the questions, how will the front and rear SHO-ME lights be hooked up? What controls them, and the pattern they flash in?

To the top on this one. Any advice on how the SHO-MEs were hooked up and controlled?

SHO-ME's should be controlled by a wig-wag system if you mean the halogen type lights.

They are Halogens, they went to strobes in '87 (aero-noses). Any idea what the correct brand/model of Wig-wag might be?

Straight up automotive flasher. I still have the original shifter bezel with the holes DPS drilled in it in my '83. Simple switches used in conjunction with the flashers.
