Switchbox to Valve Wiring? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tcb-1 · 02-20-2010, 12:19 PM

Hey gang. I'll be wiring up my EAI 9 switch box to valves soon. I was going to go the 9 wire color coded route, but......

I'm trying to get an idea what to use.

Any thoughts suggestions?

I used to use service cord for wiring up switch boxes for the low-rider crowd, it worked great because they were using the boxes remotely and is also well suited to tuck into the frame rails (hidden) http://www.mcmaster.com/#7081k81/=5xhxuh

We sell 2-conductor wire. Thats what most people use and what comes in out wiring kits. We also have a couple spools of the 9-wire. Only have the blue cover though. Hope that helps.

if you use the 9 conductor doesnt all your valves have to be in the same place? (just like how the other end all goes to one place which is the switchbox)

Haha yeah thats a good point and probably why most use 2 conductor like Avs Jason suggested when I wired up the hydraulic systems all the valves were pretty much in the trunk
