What is the best way to fix this? I am pretty sure it is the main feed for the dash.

Pinched a wire in the bellhousing?
Didn’t say that was the cause, that’s what I was doing. I don’t even really care about the cause as I’m sure it was because I grounded out the starter. I’m more concerned about the fix.
Got a pic of your setup? That sounds better to me
1: read the links Dan posted if you haven't. great info
2: maxi fuse will work too, you need to figure out what size though
3: that bulkhead connector looks like crap. i'm guessing that's the main wire to the ammeter. you might want to bypass the firewall connector and run the correct size wire right to the ammeter. there's a couple different ways to do it, but use real good connectors and insulate everything well.
good luck
Yep it is and the wiring is on my list.Fugly looking.
That is why every last piece of wire and connectors were replaced on the car during my resto. I know my response does not help you, but 50 year old stuff that has been neglected and hacked by who knows is a disaster waiting to happen. Glad you did not have a fire.
Do it right and replace it all.

no, i'm just talking about replacing the fuse link or installing a maxi fuse in it's place, after fixing the problem that caused the short.Is this the MAD bypass I keep reading about?
