Lectric Limited 1970-1972 Chevrolet Classic Update Series Wiring Harness System 510105

TECH NOTES:

If you're building a resto-mod, mostly customized, fully customized or pro-street vehicle, or you simply think the auto manufacturer left room for improvement and want to update your classic, Lectric Limited's Classic Update Series (TM) Wiring System Kit is a popular alternative to original design wiring.

But is the Classic Update Series (TM) Wiring System Kit right for you? Ultimately, that will be for you to decide. But here are some guidelines:

- Do you want the flexibility to route your wiring the way you want?

- Do you want to hide your wiring, and need longer-than-factory wire to do so?

- Do you want original equipment style connectors and terminals for aftermarket gauges or instrument panel?

- Do you want an updated fuse block with room to add more circuits to connect other devices?

- Do you want to save money by cutting most of the wire to the length you need, crimping most of the terminals yourself, and taping the harness to suit your needs? (Detailed instructions included. Harness tape and convoluted tubing not included.)

If you've answered YES to all of the questions above, then our Classic Update Series (TM) Wiring System Kit is an option for you. But please read the information below to be certain.

Our Classic Update Series (TM) Wiring System Kit is the simplest way to update your classic vehicle's wiring. In basic terms, this system allows you to rewire your car or truck with the customized upgrades you want installed. Upgrades may include: newer steering column, H.E.I., alternator, aftermarket heater & A/C system, reproduction tail light assembly, updated gauges, etc.

Working with major equipment manufacturers such as Autometer (TM), Classic Industries (TM), Dakota Digital (TM), Stewart Warner (TM) and VDO (TM) gauge systems, Raingear (TM) wiper systems, Hot Rod Air (TM) and Vintage Air (TM) heat and air conditioning systems, Flaming River (TM), and Ididit (TM) (just to name a few), we have engineered a kit that easily interfaces with aftermarket accessories as well as reproduced original taillight, headlight, and running light assemblies. In keeping with the design of this kit, there is still complete flexibility in engine compartment and body wire routing for the custom touch. As with every Classic Update Series (TM) kit, only the best components and detailed installation instructions are utilized in building this most complete kit offered.

This system has been designed with the power capabilities necessary to run (but does not include) separate options. Some of these options may include power windows, stereo systems, air conditioning, rear window defogger, power windows, power top, cruise control, computerized fuel injection / ignition system, ABS/ride control, other computerized systems, etc.

NOTE: This wiring system is for a base-model vehicle and (unless noted) does not include the wiring for options noted above. The wiring for those options should be included by the manufacturer of those options, should you decide to add them.

Our Classic Update Series (TM) Wiring System Kits are not a fits-all system. They are custom manufactured for a specific year & model vehicle. They are a complete vehicle wiring system (front -to- rear), designed with the foresight, engineering and flexibility to bring your car's electrical system up-to-date.

This is not a plug & play system and will require some assembly on your part. Detailed instructions are included. When you install this system, YOU will determine the routing of the wires, and cut & terminate the wires to fit your needs. Installation of this wiring system will require the removal of all of your original wiring, as your original wiring will not directly connect to this system.

With the exception of some small optional harnesses, this system is a front-to-rear harness system (not individual harnesses as with our Original Design Series (TM) wiring harnesses).

This Classic Update Series (TM) Wiring System Kits are designed for upgraded/modified vehicles. Consequently, they:

- does NOT include resistance wire so they will NOT support a point-type ignition system, but can be used with an HEI or hi-performance ignition system.

- does NOT support ANY ammeters. Only voltmeters are supported. If you have an ammeter, you can convert it to a voltmeter or use an aftermarket voltmeter.

- does NOT support a stock generator, voltage regulator, or externally regulated alternator. They will only support an internally regulated Delco SI Series or self-exciting 1-wire alternator. Adapters are available for use with other internally regulated alternators or newer-style GM alternators, as shown in our catalog.

Note: If your goal is to restore or keep your vehicle to a factory-original configuration or to replace only a portion of your original wiring, we highly recommend our Original Design Series (TM) wiring harnesses.
