American Autowire 1968 Chevy Nova Classic Update Kit (AAW510201)

Description

The American Autowire 1968 Chevy Nova Classic Update Kit (AAW510201) is a comprehensive wiring solution designed to replace and modernize the entire electrical system of your vehicle. This kit is specifically engineered for “resto-mod” projects that require more circuits and a more robust design than the original factory harness. From the headlights to the taillights, every wire is replaced with high-quality, modern GXL wire, ensuring reliability and safety.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Complete Vehicle Rewiring: Replaces all wiring from the front to the back, accommodating add-ons like EFI, aftermarket gauges, and upgraded A/C systems.
• Modern Fuse Panel: ATC fuse panel with blade-style fuses and labeled cover for improved reliability and easier circuit identification.
• High-Quality Labeled Wire: Uses GXL wire resistant to heat and abrasion, with functions labeled every 3 to 5 inches for easier installation and troubleshooting.
• Simplified Installation: Pre-built dash harness with gauge cluster disconnect system and extra-long leads for custom routing.
• Compatibility with Modern Components: Supports both original-style and modern ignition systems, as well as GM “SI” and “CS” alternators (with adapter for CS).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Fuse Type: ATC (blade-style)
• Wire Type: GXL automotive-grade cross-linked polyethylene wire
• Included Components: Pre-built dash harness, engine and front light harness, rear body harness, new headlight switch with 26-amp internal circuit breaker, new floor dimmer switch, horn relay, turn signal and hazard flashers, GM-style bulkhead connectors, 175-amp mega fuse kit with 6-gauge charge cable, printed circuit board connector and terminals for gauge cluster, and a connector for a 1969 and later GM steering column

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Disconnect the battery and remove the original factory harness from the dashboard, engine bay, and rear of the vehicle.
2. Mounting the Fuse Panel: Secure the ATC fuse panel in the original factory location.
3. Install Harnesses: Begin with the main dash harness and connect the gauge cluster disconnect system. Route and install the engine and front light harness using the bulkhead connectors.
4. Connect Engine and Accessories: Wire the ignition system, alternator, electric fan relay, and other engine-related components.
5. Route Rear Wiring: Install the rear body harness to connect taillights, license plate lamp, and fuel tank sender, using extra-long leads as needed.
6. Final Connections: Attach the new headlight switch and floor dimmer switch. Confirm all connections are secure, soldered, or crimped properly.
7. Grounding: Establish proper ground points: battery to engine block, battery to frame, engine block to frame, and body to frame.
8. Power Up: Reconnect the battery and test all circuits and components to ensure functionality.
