NAPA or an auto-electrical shop should have the fusible link. #12 should be about right. Solder in a few inches, shrink wrap or tape and he's good to go as long as whetever blew it in the first place is fixed.

I would say more like #14, Depending if it has relays upgrades attached at battery or not. If not, 14 should be enough. If yes ( what BTW is wrong on ammeter design cars ) #12 is better. #16 were on 60 amps car as much Last edited by NachoRT74; 05/16/10 11:11 PM.

His ammeter is inop due to battery in trunk, so that maybe why it's still alive! 1968 Plymouth road runner 1968 Dodge Coronet 500 64 D200 Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick Two.
