On one of my Chryslers I added a Painless Performance "CirKit Boss Auxiliary Fuse Block" under the hood. This provides a mix of relay-switched and always-hot circuits for adding accessories. I have no complaints with it. If you want to add a power distribution center under the hood that...

Beautiful job! The gauges look right at home.

Excellent work, they all look great, especially the backup lights. I retrofitted the same style of license plate light onto my Chryslers as you did. I love what you did with the trunk light. I'm sure it works much better than the factory bulb over in the corner of the trunk. Where did you find...

Multi-spark is the Ignitor-3. The Ignitor-2 seems more like HEI. I presume it has an internal current regulator like HEI if it can safely get rid of the ballast resistor in all applications.

I recommend spending a bit more and getting the Pertronix Ignitor-2 instead of the original Ignitor. It has current limiting so you can remove the ballast resistor, and shutdown protection in case you leave the key ON without the engine running for an extended period.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this yet. If you find a newer-style alternator that has 2 field terminals, just ground one of them to the case and connect your field wire to the other one.

My mini starter developed a slow start when hot problem. I thought it had gotten baked from header heat. So I removed the starter and discovered that the short wire between the solenoid and the main body of the starter had the rubber boot pinched under one side of the ring terminal during...

IGN RUN wire is hot when the key is in RUN position. IGN START wire is hot when the key is in START (starter cranking) position. During cranking, the coil gets full battery voltage but the ECU is powered through the ballast resistor.

Whatever you do, don't do this. :eek: This rewiring job was on a '51 Merc advertised in FB Marketplace. The seller claims that the previous owner paid someone $1500 to rewire the car for 12V to use with a Chevy 305 that they put in it. It looks like the inside of a pinball machine.

What are "ADR rules"? The only thing Google turned up was Alternative Dispute Resolution. Something to do with your insurance company? If fusible links are what your car came with originally, why would there be a problem retaining the OEM-style solution? You could also consider a MIDI/AMI fuse...

All audio is generated by frequencies in a certain range*, so effectively yes. *Human hearing is considered to be in the range 20Hz to 20kHz. The receiver takes the AM or FM radio signal and extracts the audio frequencies from it. Then the amplifier takes those small voltages and boosts them so...

I would love to see that advice as a step in the FSM. :lol:

This style of LED license plate light fits the hole spacing of the original bracket perfectly. I picked up a couple when they were on sale. You need to cut the 1-wire connector off your original and attach it to one of the wire pigtails, and ground the other wire. It's not factory-correct, but...

I figured I knew what the OP meant, though an assumption on my part. A lot of generic fuse panels, mostly intended for marine applications, have a ground bus as well as a power bus. Not needed for our automotive application, since the circuits ground through the car's body. The problem with...

There are 3 separate power feeds into the fuse panel. One is for always-hot circuits, basically sourced from the battery. The second is key-switched circuits, fed from the ignition switch. The third is one circuit which is for interior lights which can be dimmed, and is fed from the headlight...

You're welcome. It turns out I was mistaken about one thing: I see that Leaburn actually left the black terminal block on the starter. I removed it before even attempting to install mine, because many people complained that it makes it more difficult or impossible to install on a big block. It...

When I bought a mini starter I asked for one from a mid-90s Dodge pickup. It was the same as the one Leaburn shows. The terminals wind-up sandwiched between the starter and the engine block, as Leaburn mentions. The terminal relocation kits that you can buy move them to the back of the starter...

Don't be surprised if those amber bulbs cause your turn signals to not work properly. See my note in this previous comment: Exterior LED lighting upgrade I believe that the problem is that the same amber LED elements are fed through both power contacts, through a resistor to dim them for...

If those are the type of LED bulbs that are amber running lights and also flash amber when the signals are on using the same LED elements, you may not be able to use them. I was not able to on my 66. Long story short is: What was originally 2 separate circuits with the original 2-filament...

I used these LED bulbs to replace the fender turn signal bulbs. They just fit in the socket and look very good when lit. The ones I linked to are no longer available, but the most important thing to know is that they have a "BA9S" base style. In a 66 Chrysler there were a couple dash bulbs that...
