Color Wiring Diagram - 1963 Series 62 Convertible, AC, AMFM by Karl Schwarz

"If you go to Staples to get this printed, they will have to downsize it 5% or else it will cut off part of it. Also, this seems pretty close to my 63 SDV, but there are some differences. For one, my door jam switches only have two wires (black/white…"

I have a 63 and for some dumb reason, Cadillac decided to make the fin lights running lights only that year. I retrofitted mine with LED strips to fix that design problem : )

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
