painless wireing

Just an observation of the picture of the glovebox with the fusebox. Back in the day, did they have drinks that actually stayed on those "cup holders"? Can't imagine a big 40 ounce hot coffee staying put while making a turn.

Back on point. How did you rewire and replace the bulkhead connector? I can understand running the wires straight thru but what about the hole the bulkhead connector would have left?

ok.. first I cut the wires going to the bulk head from under the dash about three inches. In the engine compartment I cut or unhooked the wires from the connectors. I removed the connectors and the bulk head completely from the car and took over to the work bench. Then I removed the wires and connectors form the bulk head and the connectors. Another words all I had was plastic bulk head and the plastic connectors. I drilled out each hole with a 3/16" drill bit in the bulk head and the connectors. Then I re-installed it back on the car with the connectors snapped into place. When it came time to push a wire into the engine compartment from underneath the dash I started at the left top of the bulkhead with each wire slowly working myself down. I actually have extra holes left for something later down the road if needed. It all still looks factory but you don't ever have to worry about a loose or dirty connection at the bulk head again. Hope this makes since.
