American Autowire harness to Summit steering column question.

[rjrobin2002]

I am calling American Autowire in the morning, but just curious if yall know what I should ask for here.

The good thing is the wire colors and number of wires match, I just have a plug size difference. I am guessing it will be I need to convert the harness plug to match the column?

Good news, I found an adapter in the box.

I highly recommend the American Autowire Hwy 15 harness and this Summit tilt column shift column and the price is amazing.

I'm considering the floor shift version of this column, SUM-771712B-NK and have a few questions for you if you can. How did you mount under the dash, did you make something or use one of summits brackets? What steering wheel are you using? Did you have to order adapters? What about the steering shaft between column and steering box, curious what you are using. I assume the collapsible shaft I have now with joint on the end would work, just might have to change the joint/yoke on that end.
I've seen one of these on display at Summit in the past and for the price difference it's worth a little work to use it. No experience with it yet but it looked very nice.

I bought 2 of the summit column brackets I am gonna bolt to the firewall and to the dash. I got a random steering wheel summit linked to it.

I am going to buy the correct collapsible DD to steering box collapsible shaft.

My guess is that they will just plug together and be fine. I would just check the pin out and make sure the wires are in the correct order. but that is the way my ididit column connector looks and it is plug and play. I have used the aaw wiring harness with the ididit gm style connector in both my 65 mustang and my 71 bronco. both were just plug and play.

They wouldnt plug together, the steering column plug must of had a factory mold issue, it was about 3/8" too large.

The American Autowire harness included an extra male plug and I just swapped the pins over and it connected.

Anyone with shit wiring needs to install this harness with this column, about 3 hours total and I have it complete minus making the wire connection at the headlights and blinkers.

It includes a headlight switch, ignition switch, dimmer switch amd just plugged together and I junked all my original switches.

I am running after market Dakota gauges, EFI, Vintage AC/heater, aftermarket radio, aftermarket column, and aftermarket headlights so I didnt need a ford connector one.
