I am looking at adding an electrical distribution block under by dash to feed some extra components. I want something that I can feed 12v battery supply into it and then I can add circuits off of it as needed. I am not looking for a fuse block, but just an electrical distribution strip with maybe 4 connections or so that I can add inline fused circuits later as required. What are my options at the local parts stores?
Where should I wire the 12v feed in from on the car (70 Challenger)?

Thanks

Try waytekwire.com, they do have a minimum order on some items.

You can use something like these:

They take a single heavy gauge wire in and 4 smaller gauge out. They are pretty big so maybe it's overkill. Allot of people do just a small fuse block and add fuses as they expand like this:

The fuse block appears to be an easy solution.

Thank you both.
