Wiring a later model GM column to you hot rod?

Post by RebStew on November 13th 2008, 6:47 am

This seems to pop up occasionally, someone needs to wire a later GM column into an earlier GM car, or vise-versa....and GM changed the color codes some time in the early 60s. Old is the 50s and early 60s color code, Function is what the wire does, New is the mid60s- and newer color code. Some of the columns have all black wires with a color stripe, so for these the New color is the color of the stripe on the black wire.

Old----------function----------New

pink---------left rear----------yellow
purple-------right rear-------dark green
light blue----left front--------light blue
dark blue----rightfront-------dark blue
white------brake switch-------white
yellow---power from flasher----purple
tan-------horn----------------black
