Underhood wiring is underway again. I replaced the bad aftermarket
ignition harness with one I salvaged years ago and now at least the connectors fit
properly. Summit didn’t even ask for the defective parts to be returned.
I increased the size of the alternator output wire from AWG12
to AWG10, since I now have an 80 amp alternator. Other wiring has been upgraded
too. Probably not needed, but where wiring is concerned I’m from the belt and
suspenders crowd.
The Fuse/Relay block I received a couple of weeks ago is mounted
in the original battery location with a custom-made bracket. The metal below
the battery was quite pitted from acid, so I cleaned it well, rust-proofed it
and cut a piece of neoprene to cover the area as well as add a bit of shock
damping for the circuit board.
It feels great to be back to work on the car!
Gary, what make and model is the Fuse/Relay block? Thanks, Ray.

Ray, the generic board was purchased from Columbine Automotive Products in Longmont, CO. It's called a Universal Fuse Panel, and the price was $135 plus shipping. I haven't tried attaching wires yet, but the quality looks good so far.
