How much do you like those power windows Marcus, cus I have always wondered if they were hard to install and if they aren't too heavy to put in a car that I am trying to make as light as possible. I love cranks and all, but considering that my hinges are kinda bent or crooked or something, if I have to fool with the doors, I might as well put in the power windows too.

I have a scan of the circuit diagram on here under technical/electrical/1970 diagrams/electric windows. You should be able to figure out how to hook them up from that.

Thanks Dave,...Joel I have not had the car on the road yet so not sure,as for weight Im not going to big on a race car thing,so I think it would be pretty cool to have power on a old car like that,they are a pain though I hope I don't have to many problems with em.

I guess all I can do is try it out for myself. Thank you Dave for the wiring diagrams.

I have a friend with a 70 challenger who picked up 2 doors with power windows and needs the wiring harness for them.aAre these available some place? Also he has picked up the passenger power side windows,how are these wired in? Is there a harness for these. Mike

They are right here in the electrical section. Just look for a thread called 1970 electrical diagrams. There are diagrams for other years somewhere on here too but I do remember seeing electric windows in the 1970 diagrams.
