About a year ago a member here sold a battery fuse kit (Spoke?) Never thought I'd use it but it looked cool.
Started the teener tonight and after a minuted it went Dead Instantly! Knew it was electrical and since I'd recently installed a tach, decided to check the wires. Looked OK. and the dash fused were ok too. Checked the battery fused and found a blown 25 amp fuse. When I think of what might have melted without that fuse................... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) As soon as the butterfly horn was off, I see a cut horn wire. The DAPO installed this and I have been to lazy to wire it right. Pulled off the horn wire, installed a new fuse, and took her for a spin! With Tim's new LED dash lights, I love driving after dark. So,,,fuse the battery and let Tim do your dash. Attached image(s) |

Tom made those. I've got one on my '76. Damned good idea to have one. Many folks don't know that they have unfused HOT wires running up the tunnel. Glad yours saved your butt. I haven't needed mine yet but it is cheap insurance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
