ANOTHER CENTECH QUESTION?

[67_super_sport]

Ive been in the process of installing a Centech harness in my 67 and have ran into a problem.<br><br>The break light warning switch in my H block does not connect to the Centech Harness weather proof connector. I do not have the old connector to splice in inplace of the weather proof connector that Centech supplied already attached to the Harness. There must be a different switch I need to get that will work?<br><br>I figured Id ask if anybody ran into this when they did the Centech Harness and If I cant get any help here Im sure Centech can help me tomorrow.<br><br>Thanks in advance <br><br>Rich

Centech's connector did plug into the switch on my late model proportioning valve, and also onto one on an h-block I used for a while. The h-block was from a mid-seventies EB. Sounds like Ford changed switch styles along the way. If Centech can't help you might try your local Ford dealer, and try asking for the h-block (they'll probably know it as a differential valve) switch for a later Bronco than yours. Say '73 or '74. The switch should interchange with the one you have.<br><br>Lars

Interesting timing of your question .... I just changed the H block in my '67 , it was sticking . The '67 switch is single prong , the later EB & Centech is 2 prong . I used a later H block so just swapped the switch , nothing to it . If you can't find the 2 prong switch email me I now have an extra . Another piece of "info" for those who care . The H blocks are all the same but the m/c hard line fitting ends are opposite on the '67 from the later , so I had to use the '67 lines too .

DAMN, that sounds like a pain for something that has such a simple function. You guys have more patience than me, because I woud have just disconnected that idiot light.

Since your in the process of install your Centech I have a couple questions.<br><br>How much trouble is it? and tips or tricks you have dont that might help someone else install the harness?<br><br>Im going to be getting one here soon, My rig it totally stripped of wireing right now so the old stuff wont be in the way.<br><br>thanks in advance.<br><br><br>

DO NOT throw away your old harness , you will need parts from it . Despite what Centech implies , you DON'T get everything with the new kit . Best advise : read Centech's instructions until they are memorized . They are a bit confusing ... but right , I've done 4 so far .

I emphatically agree with the above. You'll need your heater switch and wiring, keep the pigtails going to the side marker lights on the "long" side as you will reuse them, if you have the dash indicator lights (or whatever you call the two light bars), I believe I kept the pigtails for those. You'll have to rewire your wiper motor. It's a great harness and the instructions are a bit rough, I'd also suggest xeroxing a copy of them for a working copy.<br>Their tech is fantastic, so if you study the directions real well, take your time, you'll be fine.<br><br><br>snake
