Re: 1960 Apache K10 build
Next I moved on to the wiring. I got an american autowire kit, and for the most part, it has really made the wiring a snap so far. I got the main fuse panel mounted, and the switches and ignition working. The only thing is that there is a TON of circuits that I will not be using. SO my plan is to get it together, get it driving, and then once I get it to that point, I will go ahead and remove the things I do not need. For example, it has circuits for a dedicated VSS signal, but my Tahoe harness has all of those things already. as long as they all work, I should be in the clear. A lot of things like the main harness that comes out of the firewall by the distributor, I don't think I need any of it. And most of the gauge cluster will get information from the OBD2 port, so that plug will be redundant as well. But I would rather work around them for now, than snip them and wish I hadn't.
and some other things should all be plug and play. I will be able to just connect my harness from the flaming river column into the main wiring harness.
I also rough mounted the throttle pedal. I only put one bolt in it for now. I will do something better later, but I wanted to have the seat in it, and drive it around for a sec to see if the pedal is too high or too low.
