Check out YouTube, there are some great step-by-step videos! Just search for ‘1957 Chevy wiring harness install.’
I’m upgrading my '57 Chevy’s wiring harness as well. I recommend going for a complete aftermarket wiring kit. They usually come with everything you need and better instructions.
I’ve heard good things about the American AutoWire kits. They seem to be user-friendly and great for classic cars.

When installing, ensure you’re labeling your wires as you go. It saves a ton of headaches later when diagnosing issues!
Great tip! I didn’t do that on my last project and ended up rewiring half of it. Not fun!

Absolutely! I also added some dielectric grease to my connections; it works wonders for longevity.
Guys, can anyone help me with my headlights flickering post-install? I swear it wasn’t happening before the upgrade.
That could be a bad connection at the switch. Check the wire connections and make sure they are secure. Don’t take any chances with those lights!
