NX Install Instructions?
I have a complete NX Wet kit with purge, hottle heater, bottle opener, MSD window switch, WOT switch and so on.
Does anyone have a complete instructions for our cars with pictures. I have found a few on the web, though not specificaly for this kit or very detailed. This is my first time and want to do it right. Will be taking the interior apart for the install this week. Thanks guys.

Re: NX Install Instructions? (TexCorvette)
Do u have the panel switch? If so the bottle heater and the opener are fairly straight forward. Finding the tach wire for the window switch was a little difficult on my 98. Do a search on the forum. Its a different wire form the 01 and up. I emailed a basic diagram for you. Be careful that no hot wires touch the nirtous lines and double check the wiring before attaching the solinoids, they are easy to ruin, I learned he hard way.

Thanks Frank! The wiring diagram will help me get started! Does anyone else have any written instructions, or step by step pictures & write-up of their own isntall? I'm also going to try wire in my own timing retarding divice so that I can have my regular tune when not on the bottle.

Re: NX Install Instructions? (TexCorvette)
Got the passanger side all taken appart. Will test wire everything up today with the diagram frank gave me, and then start the install on Friday! Any additonal instructions anyone can post or send me will help.
Few questions:
1) what are the exact plugs I should get and what gap?
2) how are you all installing the blowdown? I might not install it in the center compartment because I have a sub there now

Seems most choose NGK TR6 @ .035 - .040
Could you route the bow down out the wheel well?

Re: NX Install Instructions? (78Vette-SA)
Thanks everyone, I'm about 70% done, and its a real clean looking setup without lines all over.
On my PCM, there is only 2 white wires, one on the uper, and the other on the lower. Each block is numbered 1-16, for a total of 32. There is no 35pin? So am I assuming correctly to just T into the only white wire in the top block for the RPM on a 98?
