Wiring clean up to starter
I am installing a new wiring kit in my 67 and curious what others have done to cleanly install the wiring to the starter. I get the battery wire, but what about the wire to the fuse panel etc., how did you run it?
Any pictures would be awesome! Last edited by LockDoc; 11-03-2024 at 02:12 PM. |

Re: Wiring clean up to starter
You might ask a moderator to move your thread to the pickup side. There are way more eyes over there.
Also what engine are you running? Mine is still as the factory did it except for the battery cable which due to the headers I believe is routed differently.

Any pictures of how you ran it? Do you like how it looks vs the need to keep the pathways clear of headers / manifolds? |

Do you have the stock plastic wire loom channel that goes across the top of the firewall? The wires run from the bulkhead connector through that channel and down the center of the firewall and over to the starter solenoid.

Re: Wiring clean up to starter
This is an aftermarket wiring kit and the starter to battery cable doesn't go to the firewall unfortunately. Neither does the one wire alternator wire.

I'm talking about the wire from the fuse block/ignition switch to the starter solenoid. (should be a Purple wire) And the coil wire from the solenoid to the stock coil if it has one. (Yellow Wire) Here are a couple of threads on the subject. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=439088 https://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vbo...d.php?t=843536 .
