Then how about the mounts? I repeat that my outboard rear does not match that pictured. I have not located my tranny rebuild upside down photo yet. I'm looking.

I have 5 of the 6 trims. My "feet" are nowhere near as tall as the ones pictured in white. *(See below) In the photos there are 4 bolts holes on the outboard rear. My seat only has 2. The car is a 1 owner original prior to my ownership. I have had the seat out recently to facilitate work under the dash. *The other possible explanation is that the standard interior seat travels up higher than my optional one, but that seems unlikely. I have a photo somewhere of the seat out and upside down, as I was rebuilding the transmission. I will try to provide it.

My mounts are different. The outboard only has a single bolt on either side and the supports don't appear to be as tall. This shit is with the seat all the way up. I guess I am missing lowers not uppers.

Thanks to both of you guys! Clears up this mystery. The seat in the photos has a lot higher base mounting than mine do. What are they in? I see the joystick here is on the seat. Mine is on the deluxe trim door panel. I am missing the "uppers" . Probably broken off long ago. I can see the fastener holes but didn't know what went there.

'64 here, but probably the same for other years: There are little sheet metal screws that hold the plastic trims on the bottoms of the bucket seats, hiding the 4 way electric track hardware. I have 1 original(?) screw that threads readily into the metal frame of the seat. It looks like a typical pan head phillips #6 sheet metal screw, BUT the thread pitch is less than what I've found at the hardware store. Those don't work and #8s are too big. Am I crazy, or is this actually a machine screw hole that the one sheet metal screw I have just happens to also thread into? TIA!

Torque everything to spec and in order. You'll be fine.

A well optioned 64:

Mid-century house, meet Mid-century car:

I will have a look at the black connector. The end of the light blue wire is different from the others, being a flat micro blade male style. Thanks!

I also have an intermediate connection of the red cruise engage sw wire which plugs in somewhere upstream of the final bulkhead connection. That one is still hanging loose. Another fun task tomorrow is modifying the brake pedal arm by drilling it to accept the disengage pin, which sits inside the slot of the switch. I figure that will be easier than trying to swap out the whole pedal from an E-C car. The bracket for the pedal lever already has the 2 mounting holes for the switch, thankfully. It would be nice if there was already a hole in the pedal arm, but no such luck. I'll look closer for a starter divot, but not hopeful there

Great! Thanks much! That's where I put them!! My green and red have white stripes, but I'm sure since they come from the engage sw that they are the same ones.

The other end of the light blue wire goes directly to the Guidematic fuse in the fuse panel. I'm hunting for where the other end goes. Thanks.

Arrived today in fine shape. I need to see if there is a matching opening above the switch for light to shine down, or maybe the paint on the surround has a "window", there.

Just doing this in reverse on my 64. Most likely the 2 things mentioned: the wiring connection for the speed minder buzzer (Good luck with that latched connector!) or electro cruise setting circuit, if so equipped and the trip odometer reset .cable

A deal has been struck! Thanks Bill for the quick service!

ISO: the metal carrier piece that holds the illuminating bulb for the ignition switch. See photo. Part is circled. Thanks

I found an illustration: fig. 10-159 which appears to show wire colors by connection for these bulkhead plugs which will be helpful. The other question I have is found on the fig. 10-171 chassis wiring diagram, where wire bus connections have letters and numbers below without explanations. Does anyone know the code?

Also a Lt Blue wire (shown) from the Guidematic came out of this same connector, and I don't know which one it goes back into.

I think what I need is a photo of this bit from a car with Electro-cruise installed. I have some open slots that get taken by wires associated with it I THINK. RED with white chaser (has an intermediate plug in as well) GREEN with white chaser and WHITE Would be most helpful to have their locations precisely notated.

Ah, good to know! Thanks for steering me away from that wrong assumption. I will pm you.

If someone has the white loom plug like the one above I would be interested it it.

Hey all, Im in the end stages of installing Electro-cruise into a car that did not have it. There are only partial provisions for it and the dash loom that was supposed to be tucked away because I do have the guidematic with its accy loom IS NOT THERE. I bought the missing underdash wiring I needed from a vendor here, but he pulled it out of a box and the installation photos he took are greek to me. I need to know where the wires from the engagement switch and light go. The photo below shows an open connector socket with 3 terminals which is up to the left of the brake pedal. Does someone have a schematic with color codes just for the cruise system? Lacking that can you give me color codes for these 3 connections circled? I surmise they go to the actuator tied into the throttle linkage. Thanks!

Yes, you're going to have to do a much deeper dive than I had to. I will add that there is 1 washer under the drive gear I ended up not needing, so only the bushing and cup washer is used. I'm ambivalent about the RH remote mirror. I will have to mock it up with tape or have a friend hold it and decide after that, but you're right, should be much easier. I put a convex RH mirror on my 58 Chevy and use it a lot. That was a "fab job" since they don't offer that for s 58 but do for the 57. I transplanted the mirror face over. Ive learned to depend on them in my modern cars.

Here is a how to video I made on the process. Very happy with the shortcut and the results! https://youtu.be/2HzpFmLWuyE

That thing has some serious flop!!
