    Im going to buy a 1980 impala and i want to put a new head unit in the glovebox, where can i buy the wiring harness for this car because the wiring harnesses for GM cars only go down to '92

    Try autobarn or supercheap, or maybe google it, some online sellers may import them or make them for your specific make.
    I originally bought a harness but then decided I wanted to get rid of all the old wire in the car all together. I took the harness back.
    I installed it all myself and I was a complete novice.
    It is just a thought though.

    just a little heads up, if your going to put a sony head unit in, the ignition wire and the constant 12v wire might be switched, i.e head unit- constant red ignition yellow and car constant yellow ignition red or vice versa.
