<VV> 1969 Positive cable fusable link question

[Jim Bannister]

Hey All,
Don't forget, using a fuse here is also a good way to slow down the stealie
boys. When parking the car, simply pocket the fuse and the car is as dead as
a doornail.  If you have a radio with presets that you'd like to preserve,
put another fuse in parallel with this one.  Its fuse should be something
really low, 1-2 amps.  The load of the starter solenoid and interior lights
should blow this weakling, but keep the radio, quartz clock etc. alive.

Hi Lonzo,
Sure do it. But remember that all current into and out of the battery
(except 
for the starter) goes thru this wire. So I'd suggest a wire capable of 
handling the output of the gen/alt you have. Let's say a 60 amp load.
Therefore a 
thick wire would be best. The thicker the better (8 or 10 GA) In my opinion.
Regards,
Bob Helt
