Default C2 Power Locks

I'm considering installing power door locks on my '67. Any suggestions as to what kit is best? Thanks, Hal

I installed RKE a few years ago. I used AutoLoc PN AUTCK2000. It worked and it's still working now.
My opinion after it's all said & done is that it is not worth the effort.
Ultimately, to get it to work, I had to have new door lock ***** 3D printed so that I could modify them somewhat to increase the clearance to the door skin. There was too much friction with the factory ones.
If you can email me I will reply with several good annotated pictures I made at the time explaining some important details for success.
