Original PCB - they just cleaned it up and resoldered it in places. I spent the money I saved on a the trans rebuild on the gauges. They cost me just as much as when Pete Serio did the rally setup for the '68. I was impressed that they turned the set around in a week in a half.

They cleaned all the copper nicely and the soldermask is in great shape.

If this is for a connector, I'm curious what style mates with this? Reminds me of an old tube socket...

That's the connector for the dash harness. It's a horrible design .

Nice looking Javelin. And I love the color of it too.
A guy I went to high school with was given a 68 AMX as a 1968 graduation gift from his dad, an AMC dealer. Color, AMC Orange.
No he doesn't have it. I saw him at our 50th Class Reunion and he said he'd sold it. And called himself a dumbass.

Thanks for the photo.

Not sure it's horrible but it is different...

It looks easier to plug in than it is. The sockets have a tendency to slip out of the connector and you have to have it clocked just right. The flat GM plug is way less fussy.

This is also the design and plug for a 1966-67 Cutlass/442 - may even be the same exact moulding.

They do NOT take multiple fittings well and will pull the prongs off the circuit "board".

I can verify it is horrible.
