Intermittent total loss of electrical
If the car was optioned with the tachometer in dash, then there was a fuse for it. So I basically copied the factory.
Fusible links.
I bought these 'just in case' needed as replacements or to rework the battery feed.
Top two are from Bill Evans, Evans Wiring.
Blue flag with ring terminal is for a B-body application.
Yellow flag with Packard 56/58 terminal in a connector housing is for A-bodies.
Bottom one speaks for itself.
Personally I'd be inclined to leave teh starter relay and place the fuse where the splice is. That's just me and mostly because the ring terminals on the starter relay looked OK, so I'd leave them alone. But either way will work fine.
To splice in the A-body one, I'd first try asking Bob if he would sell an male extra connector housing and 2 mating housing for the female terminals.
Then buy the appropriate size Chrysler/Packard 58 style female terminals. For the original wire - that's either 10 or 12 ga.
By 1973 or 74 Chrysler switched to using bullet style connector. Those seem to have more contact surface area. Just mentioning it if your open to not so original looking options.
That's funny you mention aftermarket tach. One of the things I'm doing is rewiring my aftermarket gages and tach to get power from the fusebox.
