1957 power top installation

[John S.]

Is there anyone who can please help me with the installation of my power top accessory for my 1957 corvette. I have the complete set of things I need but I am stumped with the installation and wiring. The switch is already installed in the trunk area. Thank you in advance.

John,

Do you have a copy of the 1957 Assembly Instruction Manual? Available in hardcopy at the NCRS store and online at Russ Uzes website.

That has most installation information and wiring diagrams for the Power Top.

Here's a link to a document regarding a 1956 PT I restored a while ago......HERE.

However, all of your switches are the later 1957 microswitches. Sorry but I can't help with those.

Corvette Service Operations (Body) booklet printed by Chev. August 1957, pages 10 thru 15 has just about all the information you need. Also includes trouble shooting etc. I think NCRS has reprint available. MUST get the specific 57 body booklet or issues that contain this segment in later versions . The 57 Body section booklet is only 29 pages in total.
