American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
Currently these only fit 69-72 trucks, Blazers, Suburbans. Will also work with GMC's as well. Just released this week and should start shipping week of Feb 23. These list for $539, we will be selling them for $485, over $50 off list! I have already listed these in our store and we are ready to take orders for them. Here is a run down of their features:
1. Replacement headlight switch with internal 30amp circuit breaker included. Retention collar nut, adjustable length shaft, and custom knob are also included. 2. Standard turn signal flasher, hazard flasher mounted on fuse panel, and horn relay mounted on harness. 3. Fuse box designed to fit in original location. All required hardware supplied. New ATO fuse panel allows for easy fuse and circuit breaker accessibility. Harness is laid out and formed to allow for nearly all after market accessories such as; gauge packages, wiper systems, heat and air conditioning systems, etc. 4. Original switch connector bodies! (Exclusive to American Autowire) 5. Steering column connectors will plug directly into most after market steering columns as well as 1969-72 GM columns, which utilize stock GM turn signal switches. 6. Along with wiring for your original dome/interior lighting we have included separate under dash light sockets. 7. Instrument Cluster wiring is designed with a cluster harness disconnect system for easy service and assembly. All original terminals, connectors (exclusively from American Autowire), and light sockets are also supplied for original cluster gauges. However, the best aspect of the disconnect system is that any gauge cluster package can be easily and neatly wired in. This includes AUTOMETER, CLASSIC INSTRUMENTS, DAKOTA DIGITAL, STEWART WARNER, and VDO just to name a few. 8. Rear body harness assembly is designed to plug into the main harness in the original location. Flexibility in harness design allows for original or custom routing. EXCLUSIVE! Rear body wiring includes backup light lead wires with rubber connectors, stop and tail light lead wires with correct light sockets and boot / tube assemblies for Fleetside trucks, or correct connections and terminals to mate with the tail lamp assemblies for Stepside trucks, license plate connection wire, side marker lead and ground wires with lamp sockets, and fuel tank sender wire and connection. 9. New floor dimmer switch is provided with extra long mounting screws for ease of installation. Wire length and connection accommodate original floor mount dimmer switch. 10. EXCLUSIVE! GM bulkhead connectors for the engine and front light wiring are included and ready for easy installation. Original or custom routing of the new harness is no problem! 11. Engine wiring includes connectors for original points type as well as H.E.I. distributors. Power and tach connectors supplied for GM H.E.I. distributors. Alternator connectors are supplied for GM SI series internally regulated alternators. GM CS series alternator adapter is available separately. 12. Front lighting includes extra long leads for special routing when custom under hood appearance is desired. All headlight, park light and directional light connectors and terminals are provided, as well as a switched trigger wire for electric fan relay (usually recommended with AC). You�ll find that with our inclusion of all the original style light sockets, connectors, terminals, etc. packed into every aspect of this harness, it makes it the most complete system of it�s type in the industry!

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
They replace the wiring 100% with the exception if you have stock A/C, you will still need an A/C harness

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
That should have been your problem before the release of this kit. No other kit can compare, period.

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
What's the difference between a 69-72 harness and a 67/68? I was under the impression they were the same.

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
I'm going to buy this kit once I get paint...
Also wondered why 67/68 weren't included.. Didn't the fuse box change oreintaiton (horizontal vs vertical) and no side marker lights needed. This is the best setup i've seen for the price.

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
Side marker lights were available in 68, and base 69 did not have them. AAW told me the 67-8 handbrake interfered with the dash harness somehow. Not sure of that one. I have a 68 and 69 at home so I am going to research that further.

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
I agree. There should be no wires near that thing.

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
I don't think it the actual handle, but where the cable passes through the firewall for the handle that is the problem. Like I said, I have to research that one a little.

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
On a 67/68 maybe the cable can be moved over a few inches?

Re: American Autowire Update wire harness kits finally here!!!
Looked at the 68 I am working on and the 69 i have. Two main differences is the original fuse box is mounted horizontal on 68-68, vertical on 69-72. Wiper switch on left on 67-68, on the right on 69-72. I can see no real reason why the kit can't be used. The other thing you may need I don't know if included in kit is a steering column connector adapter from a half moon to flat style.
