Re: General Wiring Question



The manual should give you the information that you are looking for.

Just a comment on wiring, I like to  use non-insulated termainals,
crimp, solder and shrink wrap each one.  Takes a little longer but
gives a very nice job that will not fail.

It may also be a good time to consider updating your headlight wiring
with relays, not that hard to do, better lights and takes a load off
of the bulkhead connector.  A search for "Mopar headlight relay kit"
will turn up many inclucing the following:

Depending on your car you may want  to consider bypassing the ammeter,
again takes a load off of the bulkhead connector.  There are many
ways  to do this, a search should turn up information on the
conversion.

Take Care
