Cutting the clutter?

TexasNomad · Nov 1, 2009

On my 79 I have allot of extra's installed on my truck fog lights Efan Epump stereo HEI and the wires are getting clutters I have some running from the fuse block some from the battery some here and there all feeding every thing.
OK! I did some looking online (Jegs summit) for a Terminal Strip with about 6 -8 connections but all that I can find are 3 and 4 and I dont know about daisy chaining them together, dose any one know if I could use a Terminal Strip thats for home eclectical use?

I dunno about ones for home use, but they do make marine ones that will work for you.

TexasNomad · Nov 1, 2009

Oh really.... any idea oh where I could find one?

TexasNomad · Nov 1, 2009

OK maybe Terminal Strip is not what i'm looking for..
Let see if I can explain it.
I'm looking for some thing I can run one how wire to and be able to hook up all my add On's to?
See what I mean?????

Sometimes you can get a terminal strip with a removable bridge on one side.

There are a few marine dealers on ebay that should be able to fix you up cheaply!!!

Tex you're thinking of an auxiliary fuse block like I've got in my truck. You can buy them at your local auto parts store:

Mine is made by Buss-- same people that make auto fuses.

That is a great idea Skan. I may have to get one of those. I do have a smaller version just for my upgraded headlight wiring.

skank nailed it tex...
Aux fues block. They have some nice ones on jegs and summit, but the one skan has will do the trick for you.

One thing I should mention-- it's probably not a good idea to run your fan off of a fuse block like this. High power accessories should get their power direct from the battery.

aah thank you very much gonna go picky one up.

Whichever one you end up buying, the package should tell you the maximum rated fuse that each slot will support, and also maximum load that should travel through the whole fuse block at any given time. Make sure to read what those ratings are otherwise you might have big problems

Well i'm been looking at them on line and most of them come with a circuit breaker did yours come with a breaker?
Really hate for this monster alt to melt any thing.

No mine does not have a circuit breaker. But you can add one to any one that you want.
