How many amps dose a mini starter draw?
The battery box and battery on my 56 Dodge pick up are mounted on the frame under the cab so I thought for added protection I would add a inline fuse, as a work at a marine shop I used a good quality blue seas fuse block , it mounts directly on the battery post and the cable mounts to it, the fuse blocks are available in many different amps, I thought a 90 would be good, I got 1/4 revolution and it popped, previous to the fuse install it cranked fine, I realize the starter draws many amps at crank but not sure what to go to next, thinking 200?
