American Autowire 1967-72 Ford Truck Classic Update Kit (AAW510368)

Description

The American Autowire 1967-72 Ford Truck Classic Update Kit (AAW510368) is a complete wiring harness engineered to replace the entire electrical system of your 1967-1972 Ford F-100, F-250, or F-350 pickup. This kit is ideal for projects that require more circuits than the original chassis harness provided, allowing you to easily integrate modern components and popular accessories. The product provides a comprehensive solution, from headlight to taillight, ensuring a clean and professional installation that supports contemporary modifications.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Expanded Circuit Capacity: This kit provides extra circuits beyond the original design, making it possible to add modern accessories like electronic fuel injection (EFI), aftermarket gauges, and power accessories without overloading the system.
• Simplified Installation: The wire functions are labeled every 3 to 5 inches, which simplifies the routing and connection process. All wires are extra long, allowing for custom routing and a clean, tucked appearance.
• Modernized Fuse Panel: The included new ATC-style fuse panel is more reliable and safer than older fuse designs. It is housed in a compact box that fits in the original location and has a cover that clearly labels each circuit and its rating.
• Improved Performance and Safety: A 175-amp mega fuse kit with a 6-gauge charge cable is included to support high-output charging systems and modern, internally regulated alternators. This provides a safe and efficient power supply for all vehicle systems.
• All-Inclusive Kit: The product includes all the essential components for a complete rewire, such as a new headlight switch, floor dimmer switch, wiper switch, and a replacement ignition switch, eliminating the need to source these parts individually.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Complete wiring harness with labeled, extra-long GXL wires
• New ATC fuse panel with cover
• New headlight switch with 26-amp internal circuit breaker
• New floor dimmer switch
• New wiper switch
• Replacement ignition switch compatible with HEI and EFI
• 175-amp mega fuse kit with a 6-gauge charge cable
• Six-way power accessory plug
• Pre-built dash harness
• Engine and front light harness with extra-long leads
• Rear body wiring with extra-long leads
• Original-replacement connectors, terminals, and lamp sockets

HOW TO USE:

• Preparation: Carefully disconnect and remove the original wiring harness from your truck. Lay out all the components of the American Autowire kit and reference the included schematics to familiarize yourself with the new system.
• Mount the Fuse Panel: Install the new ATC fuse panel in the factory location. The panel is designed to fit without any modifications to the firewall.
• Install Harnesses: Begin by routing the main dash harness. Connect it to the new switches (headlight, ignition, wiper) and the provided gauge cluster disconnect.
• Route Front and Rear Harnesses: Connect the engine and front light harness and route the wires to the engine, headlights, turn signals, and other front accessories. Do the same for the rear body harness, routing it back to the taillights, license plate lamp, and fuel sender.
• Connect and Terminate Wires: Use the labeled wires to make connections to your vehicle’s components. The wires are color-coded and labeled to match the detailed schematic for each circuit. Use the appropriate crimping tools to ensure secure connections.
• Final Checks: Once all connections are made, double-check all wiring against the provided schematics. Test all electrical functions, including lights, gauges, and accessories, before operating the vehicle.
