I have a roof in Louisville, KY it has the A pillars but not the sail panels. Let me know if your interested.

Rob, I wanted to let you know we got the card and really appreciated it. Also appreciate you letting the members here know as I do not get on the site much anymore. Steve

I truly appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Seeing this was really touching…to know that my Monte Carlo brother (and sisters) thought of me and my family during this difficult time. Steve

Nope the Tan wire is not ground. I have no idea where the wires go beyond when they go up into the main harness running across the top of the cluster.

No power on the plug with the Tan and Black/Pink wire regardless of key position.

I will check for power. Just to be clear both wires (the tan and the black with pink stripe) are are crimped into a single connector in the plug.

Awesome, that means I don't have another plug to find a home for. I wonder if the plug I am looking at might not be a similar thing...in a non-AC car it would plug in as @Brew shows but in an AC car the plug with both a tan and a black with pink stripe wire is not used?

hmm, I have that same plug but on mine a tan (it actually looks more brown, like the color of the wire on the other side of the plug) wire plugs into it. That lines up with the diagram @jft69z posted. So I think we still do not know where the plug I posted originally goes. While digging in the dash to figure this out, I found another plug (see the second and third picture) which doesn't go anywhere...so now I have two plugs I need to find homes for 😕

Yes middle..the box like thing below it in the picture is the center AC duct.

@Brew - Thanks for the diagrams. Unfortunately, I don't see anything in them that helps to identify this plug 😕 @1970mcss - I should have mentioned this is a 1970 Monte. I believe the brake alarm was just on the 1972 wasn't it?

I need to know where the plug in the attached should be plugged in. The picture is looking into the dash (dash pad removed) right in the center. I found the plug just to the drivers side of the center AC vent. The plug is a single cavity/connector but it has two wires, a black wire with a purple stripe and a tan wire. Any help to know where this should go would be greatly appreciated.

Well, after a bit of difficulty in transport, she finally made it to her new home.

Here are all the picture (other than what I already posted) that I have at the moment.

Thanks, Jared. It is very nice, the paint is starting to show it's age and I am starting to think about getting it painted this fall/winter but I already have one in the shop being restored...it has been there nearly 2 years and is still a long way from finished. The shop is run by a friend of mine and he just works on mine when he has a break between insurance work. The car will be super nice when finished but it is really taking a looong time... I might need to find another shop LOL.

Yes Dennis my SSs should be jealous as this seems to be a very nice car. It is Fathom blue with a black vinyl top and the interior is blue cloth. As mentioned in a previous post, i was able to confirm (with pictures) that the motor and transmission are numbers matching. According to the seller, the car had one repaint which included some minor ding fixes back in 1980. The metal is all original and solid (no rust) but there is the beginnings of some bubbling at the rear window but it looks to be just surface. I will know more when I get it here and can look it over and get it up on the lift but I am super happy to have found it. I am not yet sure how original I will keep it...maybe just change out the bench for a set of buckets with the console and possibly add A/C. Of course I will keep the original parts but I just can't see me enjoying the four speed with a bench seat haha. My buddies all think I am crazy LOL because all I do is buy and never sell anything. I now have 6 1970 Montes...4 - SS454s, 1 - Covertible, and this latest 1 a BBC 402 with 4 speed. All the Monte's are original numbers matching (except of course the convertible which is just a super nice example of how the conversion should be done) and in near perfect condition. In addition I recently bought a 1935 Chevy truck that although complete and solid (no rust California truck) is in pieces and needs painted and reassembled. It is a good thing I don't have a wife, I would likely have been shot by now. Here is a picture of some of my collection in front of my shop...
