<VV> HPT

[Dennis Pleau]

Hawsenta (sp) Hardware on 4th st. just down the street from you dads house
has RV circuit breakers.  That's where I got the one which saved my car when
the un-fused circuit my steering column shorted out.  

Did you ever find my Corvair movie?

I usually sit back and laugh when people start complaining about this...
On my '65 sedan I decided to replace the original one that was OK while I 
was replacing other things in the engine compartment when I built its 
engine.  Since I built everything from scratch since I started with no 
powertrain, I figured why not.   So working in the engine compartment 
tonight.... BZZZZZZZ...  The damned thing started shorting.   I ripped the 
cable off the battery.  The tabs on the several week old HPT that hold it 
to the rail broke and the screw started shorting.  The plastic is so 
brittle on the replacements that the tabs can easily be broken off by a 
finger.    Time to replace it with an S-10 junction block.
