Hi everybody. I'm working on a 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus (hence my clever name and avatar). I purchased a Ron Francis wiring kit as the factory wiring is ruined. The previous owner was stripping the car down to race, at least that's the only thing that makes any sense to me. Rather than disconnect and remove parts, they simply cut the wires. The wiring is cut up all over the car. The grounds are garbage too. If you're still reading this, you managed to get to my questions. Has anyone used a Ron Francis kit before? Where did you mount the fuse box? The fuse, relay, junction box is considerably larger than the tiny stock fuse. I read online that a guy put his under the left kick panel. All I can think is that he ditched the E brake. I pulled my kick panel and I just can't see how it would fit. The RF fuse block is roughly 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 2".
Any suggestions?? I've got $500 in this new harness and I can't afford to waste it.
Thanks, 74Sebring

69 Coronet. Ramped up to help power windows, ac, garmin, dash cam, Valentine1 etc. West Marine sourced.
 
I pulled a block from a wrecked Police Interceptor and am planning on mounting it in about the same place seen above. I'm too damn old to be crawling around under the dash to replace fuses. :)

I have an Ez Wire mini and that's where I'm mounting mine...
Like Bru said to dam old to be crawling under a dash, especially with a cage..
As far as heat goes, that's predominantly where they are in new cars... Can't be too bad I guess...

West Marine stuff is supposed to be pretty good for weather concerns. Been there for 10 years, no problems. Make sure that the hood hinge clears when closing and does not crush the box. Position carefully.

Another great idea! I'll have to see if I can track down an empty box to put my fuse block in. Thanks!
