Re: wire gauge question

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may want to consider the  "Convert a Mopar AMP gauge system to VOLT system and avoid bulkhead fires!" article linked from the 62-65 tech page http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/techstuff.html. Also Ehrenberg's Bulkhead (firewall) upgrade tips on: 
http://www.allpar.com/history/mopar/electrical.html 


The fusiable link protects against overload for the group of circuits after it.
 
Thanks,
