Summary of Content
NOTE: If the fuse panel on your 510372 66-68 Impala kit DOES NOT have a sticker like the photo at the left, you have the first design harness and your instructions are listed below and follow this page.

Template Sheet Kit Introduction Instruction Sheet Warning Sheet 66-68 Impala First Design Instructions www.americanautowire.com 856-933-0801 92972923 rev. 0.0 3/10/2020 STOP WARNING: Validate the kit contents with the component list included on page 2 of this sheet before proceeding. This kit is intended to be used in a modified vehicle. Please read this sheet thoroughly and be sure that you understand everything explained on it prior to opening any of the enclosed packages, or before attempting to install any of the components. Once this kit has been opened or a component installed, the kit is not returnable. 1. This new upgraded AAW wiring system should typically be used in a MODIFIED application only. For all 1968 applications, you will need to re-use your original ignition switch, as it is a unique switch that utilizes very different mounting spacer at the dash that will not allow it to work well with the new AAW 500684 switch. 2. This kit readily supports the use of a factory heater system and aftermarket heater and A/C systems only. In 1966, the factory A/C wiring was part of the engine and dash harnesses and as such, was never serviced as a separate, stand-alone harness. This kit WILL NOT support an original factory A/C equipped vehicle as it is. If you wish to use this new AAW Classic Update harness in your original factory A/C equipped 1966 Chevy, you will have to strip out all of the A/C wiring from your original engine and dash harnesses, splice them together, and then pass them out thru a grommet in the firewall of your car in order to connect it to all of your under-hood and under-dash factory A/C connections. If you are working on a ‘67 or ’68 car with factory A/C, this new kit will supply the main “on/off” power to your existing stand-alone factory A/C harness. You will also need to jumper your original fused high-speed blower connection (orange wire with the black fuse cap out in the engine compartment) to the orange wire located in the accessory connector on the AAW dash harness using the provided terminals and connector. You will need to provide this jumper wire for yourself as it HAS NOT been provided for you. Contact AAW for new 67 and 68 A/C harnesses for your car if they are needed. 3. This kit supports the use of a high current self-exciting 1-wire, “SI” series, or other style internally regulated alternator. An adapter may be necessary in some applications. The use of stock, low amperage alternators is seriously discouraged as they cannot handle the higher current requirements of most updated ignition systems, electric fans, aftermarket A/C systems, stereo systems, air ride suspensions, and other power hungry accessories that will ultimately create performance issues within the system. 4. This kit WILL NOT support the use of a factory ammeter. All AAW kits are engineered to supply the optimum charge to the battery. To achieve this performance, we route our 6ga. charge wire directly from the alternator output charge terminal to the starter battery terminal. Due to the path of the charge being altered from the stock configuration, the gauge can no longer see a charge vs. a discharge, so it will not work properly. When ammeters were originally used, most generator or alternator current outputs were rated at a maximum of about 25-60 amps. Modified cars being built today typically utilize a 100 amp or higher output alternator. With these higher current units, ammeters, generally speaking, become a safety hazard. Ammeters are usually wired in parallel to the charging circuit, are typically unfused, and can short very easily causing a fire. A voltmeter is recommended as a good alternative. 5. This kit IS NOT set up with a resistance wire for a standard, points type ignition system. It is wired with a full 12 volt primary ignition feed that is hot in the crank and run positions. Our system will support HEI, MSD, other electronic ignition systems, as well as most all computerized Fuel Injection systems. If you wish to run a points type system, there are illustrations on the engine connection pages to do so. Primary ignition voltage in the cranking position is handled via a full 12 volt bypass wire that routed from the starter to the coil. Extra parts (ballist resistor) that are not included in this kit will be required to complete that type of operation. page 1 www.americanautowire.com 856-933-0801 510372 92970328 instruction sheet Rev 2.0 1/15/2018 510372 - Classic Update Series Kit 1966-68 Chevrolet Impala This kit contains the following components: Bag N G H J L M Z Part Number 500042 500332 500684 500707 500708 500919 510361 510373 510363 510364 510365 510366 510476 92970323 92970328 92970304 Description Quantity Floor Dimmer Switch 1 Headlight Switch 1 Ignition Switch 1 Fuse, Relay, and Flasher kit 1 Courtesy Light kit 1 Practice Terminal Crimping Set 1 Dash Harness kit 1 Instrument Cluster wiring kit 1 Engine Wiring Kit 1 Front Light Wiring kit 1 Rear Body Wiring kit 1 Console Wiring kit 1 Alternator and Main Power Connection kit 1 Kit Supplemental Instruction Sheet 1 Warning Sheet 1 Firewall Modification Template 1 Validate the kit contents with this component list.

Therefore, it will be necessary to modify the firewall of the 1965 - 67 Chevy Fullsize cars to accept the 1968 and later design bulkhead. This template will be used for that purpose. The white area should be cut out with a razor knife to define the area of material that needs to be removed from the existing bulkhead area. We suggest that this template be glued to stiff cardboard or a thin piece of plastic or be applied directly to the cleaned firewall on the inside of the car then proceed as follows: 1. Position the template against the firewall aligning the top, bottom, and left hand edges of the template with the top, bottom, and left hand edges of the original bulkhead opening hole in the firewall. 2. Trace the opening area onto the existing firewall bulkhead and cut out and remove the necessary material in that opening area. 3. Drill the two 0.125 holes for the new fusebox mounting screws. 4. Mount the fusebox assembly from the passenger compartment side, then check the fit into the new bulkhead firewall opening hole. It may be necessary to do some fine tuning on the hole area with a file for an exact fit. 5. Attach the new fusebox assembly and dash harness to the firewall in the new bulkhead firewall opening using the enclosed fusebox retaining screws to complete the installation.

C B A NOTE: Please keep in mind that this is an upgraded switch, not an original replacement, and as such, the flat side on this switch may be in a different location than was your original. If you mount this new AAW switch in your dash and the flat side is in fact in a different location, the key may not line up as the original did. This will not alter the performance of the switch in any way. If you wish for your key to line up as it did in the OEM application, you will need to file out the flat spot in your original dash opening so that the switch can be rotated to the correct position. Once the backing nut C is set so that the depth of the switch is correct for your application, and bezel nut A is firmly tightened, the switch will be secure and will not rotate.
