As I noted, the main power feed would probably move from the front light harness to the engine harness. Then, hoping you got things hooked up right on the first try, you reinstall all that old wiring and new fuse block, and then you get to start re-routing the underhood harnesses. Unless you like working upside down and/or are built like an elf, you'd have to remove the complete dash harness from the car, and then sit and figure things out on the workbench or floor. You would then have all new wiring, and running and completing the Update wires cannot be harder than trying to fit a modern fuse block to an OE harness. I don't know how you value your time, nor do I know you skill at setting up and re-routing circuits, but I can tell you that a complete update kit costs $450 to $500 depending whom you get it from. if you really want the blade fuses, I am not sure why you would not want to use the whole 69 Update Kit. Both flasher units mount on the Update fuse box, so there is that OE flasher circuit run to the center of the dash that you'd have to re-route back to the new fuse box.Īs always, I am sure there is a way to make a new fuse block mate to an OE harness, but. The Update harness takes its main 12V supply from the starter terminal, and the horn relay is located inside the car under the dash (I mounted mine in the clip for the OE flasher unit on the center dash brace). The OE GM harness feeds the main 12V supply from the battery to the junction block behind the battery, and from there across under the rad support lip to the horn relay/electrical buss on the driver side near the OE voltage regulator, and then from the buss bar back to the fuse block. My guess regarding using the modern block with the OE harnesses is that you would spend a lot of time trying to get the circuits arranged correctly I never sat and looked at the GM diagrams vs the AAW Update circuits, but I know that the main power feed circuit is totally different. You can tell him that Team Camaro and/or I sent you his way. ![]() ![]() That will get you to Donny Bock, who has been a good friend to me and a source of tech support for a lot of guys here. I don't know if AAW will sell just a modern fuse box separately, but I know who can answer.Ĭall AAW on the toll-free line, use the dial by name function, and input "Bock". I've read that painless can be anything but so if you know of a better route, maybe like AA, all I'm all ears. without changing the wiring or should you change the entire wiring harness in the compartent as well? If possible, I would like to change out the fuse block only without having to change all of the wiring. Can I just get away with adding the fuse panel like this one or this one I want that cleaned up and I figured the best way would be to add a new blade fuse panel. I've got all of the accessory blades tapped into as well as most of the circuits so needless to say I have plenty of wires plugged into the fuse panel. I'm going to be doing some interior work on my 69 camaro here the next few months and one of the things I want to do is upgrade the stock glass fuse panel to the blade fuses. ![]() After doing searches I came up with nothing so I'm looking for some help.
