Idaho, you seem to have quite a bit of patience and electrical knowledge. I still have a few bugs and sub systems left to deal with you wanna come help? Andrew

I know I'm way over the edge on this subject but regardless of the location of the battery, there should be a home run back to the neg post of the battery available to all electronics. While the negative buss bars are all connected to the body/frame that is a secondary path to ground. My car has...

The short answer to your question is yes. However if you do that and one of the devices fails, the entire string quits. wire them in parallel and there will be no such concern. Andrew

KK, no hope not even a chuckle out of this crowd. Andrew by the way I did chuckle!

Its time to replace the wiring harness when you turn on the radio and the windshield wipers start up! :glasses7: Andrew

Hey SLS, Im sorry I did not mean to put you down. In truth it is easy, but with that being said, its tedious, and under most circumstances a pain in the butt. It really is very basic. Just take one step at a time and you can do it. get a collection of reference material and dig in.The books...

It depends on what you mean by "re-configure" and what you mean by "easy". Its just a box with fuses and relays already mounted, you cant change the internal busing, but its already set up for most things you will need and then some. Andrew "EASY"

not a resistor, thats the electromagnetic coil

273, was that a question of me? Andrew

SLS, If I may jump in here, being as I have a little experience with electrical overcomplication. The main reason you run a "control" circuit is to save money and weight. you can trigger a relay with 22ga wire for circuit that needs to run a very heavy gauge and amp load say 10ga/50amp. Now...

Ashton, I didnt mean to shut down your thread, it just seemed humorous to me. Listen to what Bill had to say. First make a plan for the car as if there were no budget. List all of electric items you could dream of putting on the car and their amp requirements. then go looking for a power panel...

"SIMPLE" Andrew

66, nice job on tail lights I thought I would keep my project simple. 1970 since your suggestion is a plug in option Ill order a set and try them, thanks. Andrew

I have been trying to incorporate new technology where ever possible in the build. To that end I ordered LED 1157s and 1156s. When they arrived I did a side by side comparison and the incandescent ones won out hands down. first pic is of the LED lamps the second is the side by side with the...

I took all of the above information and went on a search for door switches. First - Duralast SW332 is no longer made and is listed so in their system. They do have SW107 which is the same as Borg Warner S1024. This is what I used (pic) because it accepts the pins from the Molex connectors, which...

Yes, the labels can be had on E bay for about $6 either as 1/4" or .23". Im on my third cassette of the 1/4" labels. Andrew

car audio guys use these which are called "Distribution Blocks" Ebay's your source.$7-$15 You can also make one out or some scrap copper, This is one of three for the grounding system.In my case there is one in each compartment of the car and everything has a home run to a buss bar. Andrew

67, I got what is called "Snakeskin" at a place called "Altex" they call it expandable sleeving in their catalog. Here is the link:http://www.altex.com/Expandable-Sleeving-C11017.aspx You can use 1/4" for up to 1/2" bundles of wire you just loose the length as it expands. Because Altex is local...

Ghost, I cant say enough that you have done a great job and shown that even starting from scratch its not that difficult. Just keep good records. I would like to suggest getting a Brother Ptouch and since your connectors are built already at least "flag" your lines. If you have more to build you...

Here is what I used, Two rolls did the entire car http://www.altex.com/Black-Heat-Shrinkable-Tape-1-x-108-HUG-108TB-P146136.aspx Andrew

Or go to an outlet like Altex or Fry's and get a roll of heat shrink tape! Andrew

Look in the yellow pages and find elevator contractors. See if they will sell you the ends of their "Traveler" cable. It is fire rated and comes in many sizes and colors, on top of that every strand is individually numbered. Andrew

I don't know about how it would look on a dart, all I can think about is what someone sees in their rear view mirror.:batman: Andrew

Pauly thats a nice neat installation. Andrew

X, the relays that are in the box are the same as the ones out of the box mounted to the engine compartment. The PDC only provides a convenient place to put them. The four 40amp ones in the panel are being used for the electric fans, high & low Beams and running lights. The smaller ones are...

Yes MH, your leg is officially pulled. The third hole is for the steering col. Its just easier to do the electrical work on the bench than in the car. I am in the middle of pinning the wires coming from the column. Its from a Mazda RX8 and it has the paddle shifters built in, as well as the...

X, Im not sure of the question. basically I have just transfered the start function from the column to the switch module. It goes from there to the solenoid to ground.The main power draw is the starter cable which is attached to the battery. MH, really? OK its called "Brain Gate" an implantable...

The power distribution center came from a highway patrol crown vic 2005ish. Andrew

Jim, the answer to your question is: NEURAL INTERFACE:glasses7: Andrew

When you contact Galco talk to Teressa Rice @ex 4551. In the mean time here are some pics of what is being assembled for the other side of the firewall attached to one of the connectors. It is actually going much more quickly than I thought it would. Labeling and documentation is the key here. I...
