I have just started seriously working on my 62 SS again. I am working on final touches to the engine and installing a complete AAW Classic Update wiring kit. I have all the rear wiring done. The interior side dome lamps, under dash courtest lights and the SS Console lighting and glove box courtesy light is done. All the front lamps and horn are done. My Ididit steering column horn button was not working and it appears to have been due to coil bind in the button itself before the contacts would make so I removed the short rivet holding the terminal on and replaced it with a taller headed capscrew and now it works fine. I bought 2 NOS door jamb switches and neither one work so I reused one of my good originals and one original one I pulled from a donor car.I did install the rubber boots that came on the NOS door jamb switches though. The engine will now start from the ignition switch inside the car now. I have the power wires connected for the air ride system, heater and blower motor is wired.
I switched to a Holley 670 cfm with electric choke and vacuum secondaries. I had to redo the fuel line setup for that. I installed a cool carb technologies spacer so needed to get longer carb studs. I also installed a Moroso throttle return bracket with dual springs which worked out nicely. I used a K&N top and side high flow air breather. I will be changing the plug wires to a black set and will route them differently around the throttle linkage area. I installed a new Tremec TKO reverse swith with a weatherpack connectors so I can run the back up lights. I removed the neutral safety switch and installed a plug there. I figured a 19 tooth speedo is what I need with my 27.5" rear tires with 3.70 gears. I bought a custom cut to size speedo drive and cable assy but it is not fully installed yet. Verne is going to hook me up with a heater valve and my wiper motor stopped working after just 2 test uses. I need to look into that. Once this wiring is done and I get my shift console mounted, I need to install all of the new side glass so I can get the interior put in. My SS bucket seats are already all done and I have everything for the interior new in black.
