[How To] Install a 1970 Nova’s Engine Compartment Wiring

- Take a look at how we routed the wires for the Nova's engine compartment. To keep a clean looking engine bay, we are using Painless Braided Wire Wrap along with some heat resistant wire tape. The black wrap and tape really helps the wires blend into the firewall and wheel wells. #American #Autowire #1970 #ChevyNova

I know this is an old vid, but I this is very helpful for my '77 Nova project. I appreciate it.
I’m glad it was helpful!
Looks good
Thank god! Someone has finally made a video fully describing and showing where the wires are routed. Thumbs down to ALL the other videos having to do with wiring. Thank you for finally putting out a video that clearly makes sense and no bs talking about their dang car instead of the wiring.
I’m glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching!
This is the first video that shows what i needed..I was going to buy a new harness with marked wires, but when I see how expensive it is, I decided to use my old one..Too bad I took it out without taking pictures, now I have a mess..this will help , thank you
I’m glad you found the video helpful!

This video was very helpful thanks
You’re welcome!
I appreciate the information. I'm getting ready to start my 69 rewire.
I’m glad you found the video helpful!
I have a 1973 and I want get started on rewiring what kit did you buy?
I purchased the American Autowire update kit for 68-72 Novas.
Loved your video. It helped me a lot. Where did you find that channel that you can tuck wires into at the top of your firewall? I don’t have that channel. I’d love to get one
That is a Firewall Wiring Gutter. They can be found at a lot of different places. I just added a link to the one we ordered in the video description.
@@SouthpawGarage thank you so much. And seriously I’m just about to run my wires and your video was very helpful!
I’m glad it was helpful!
I am currently trying to wire my wiper motor. The yellow wire ACC 905 is on the inside of the cab but needs to be in the engine bay. Did you reroute it through the bulkhead connector? Or is that the one wire poking out through your firewall near your wiper? It is hard to tell what's happening because it is all taped up
The wiring kit we used did not have a yellow wire going to the wiper motor. It has a light blue wire and a white wire going to a connector that is for the wiper motor. The yellow wire inside the cab was for the clock in the dash.
This is a link to the wiring diagrams/instructions for the wiring kit that we used for the Nova: api.americanautowire.com/shopify/instructions/500878_1969-72_Chevy_Nova_Classic_Update_Kit_First_Design.pdf
Loved the video where did you get the engine bay wiring harness
It’s from a complete update wiring kit made by American Autowire. We ordered it from John’s Classic Cars.
The wires themselves are all labeled. The text is most likely too small to show up in the video, but each wire is labeled (i.e. left turn indicator, headlights, side marker, etc) and there is a diagram in the wiring kit that also tells you which color wire is for what component so there are plenty of labels and diagrams to help someone understand what everything is for.
You’re welcome!
Very nice and I see and get what you’re doing but I don’t understand why you didn’t go with both electric water pump and fans simply for what they can do for your engine longevity and performance since they can be on and off while driving and after you shut off and walk away but again very nice
Because we wanted as close to a factory look in the engine bay as possible with our engine build and this car isn’t a daily driver, anyway. It’s a weekend cruiser and show car.
Joe M. here. Where did you purchase the new bulkhead connectors from?
Our entire re-wiring kit came from American Autowire.
That's me wife
Could you tell me the model of headers has your car pls
