These look like just what I need on the '74 (It has a few accessories). Might not be a bad idea on all cars since there a re a few un-fused circuits in the original wiring.

It's usually a good idea to have your fuses close to the battery. That protects more of the wire. Someone here sold a small fuse block that would attach to the battery tray, and had good-sized fuses for the wires that were hooked to the battery (+) terminal. (Except for the big fat cable to the starter, of course.) If you're not trying to re-wire the car, that seems like a better way to go, because it requires minimal changes to the existing wiring.

At Rennsport, Jom Hoyland showed me the marine fuse block he installed near the battery. It protected the main 4 circuits coming of the battery, I believe.
Its got me thinking about doing this. But what about breakers instead of fuses. Do these trip quick enough: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/blue-sea-sys...ers--P006557607 |

Above is my thread on the small 4 or 6 fuse fuseblock and my recommended way to install it. I quit putting them together and selling them because guys were installing them in a way that I thought was not good for the long run. The way I installed it keeps the wires from stressing the connections and insures there is no wear on the wires from rubbing. I was advised this could result in my getting involved in a legal issue. Feel free to use anything I have posted in my thread and if you have questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability. Tom |

I don't like stacking up spare aux wires into the factory fuseboard, maginal enough as is. |
