68 Corvette power window conversion

[Angelo M.]

I currently own a 68 vette without power windows but I wish to add this feature. I noticed on the door pillirs round plastic plugs with, I assume, this is the entry point of the wiring harness. However on the doors I didn't notice any plugs? My assumption was that all corvettes had plugs from the factory reguardless if the car had this option? If not, does anyone know what size of hole I should drill and the proper placement of that hole on the door? It was suggested that I get tracing paper and find some one who has power windows, but I don't know anyone who has power windows? I have already purchased everything for the conversion. Has any one out there attempted this conversion?

Thanks

Angelo

Look into Corvette Central for the electrical boot that you will need. Use the boot as the size guage for the door hole. I did a PS conversion on my 68, but the holes were already in the door.

You will need the circuit beaker that is installed on the firewall also, do not connect the power to the fuse panel.



Good luck!

All I have seen have a corresponding hole that is the same diameter in the door. The judging guide describes these and the plastic plug when there is not power window. Is this another area in which the '68 is unique?
