I run mine through a relay, then to a toggle switch. And the main power wire is ran to a 12v key on power source at the fuse box.

I prefer a distribution block like this. Easier to to make the connections cleaner, and easier to mount out of the way.

On your gauge lights, get a distribution block and wire each gauge light to each terminal on the distribution block. Then run 1 wire to the fuse box for lights.

If I was closer I'd come just to visit and to check out all your cars.

In some cases it's easier to use different plug boots to make them snap on. Try 90 degree boots or straight on some.

More is better. So crank that voltage up lol

I would think the battery would swell.

No problem. Hope it works out for you.

I run a old ac delco 1 wire alternator that's rated about 45 amps. Powers my fuel pump, electric fans. And my battery is in the trunk with a battery disconnect switch.

You're welcome

Anything over 15 volts is too much. Mine sits at 13.7 idling. Driving it should be 14.2-14.5 volts

I would get a good aftermarket voltage gauge to see what it's putting out first.

I put my battery in the trunk. I have 2 ground straps that are 8 gauge that goes from the back of the block to firewall. Then a 1 gauge cable from the front of the head to frame. Might be overkill. But it's better to be well grounded.

On my 67 coronet I've been trying to get the bolt for the brake light switch bracket tight. I've tried a 7/16 wobbly and I can't get a good grip on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well I checked all the wiring, everything looked good. I double checked to make sure I had all my lights working. All my interior lights dim when I turn the headlight switch to the right. Put in the new dimmer switch. And still have all my lights working. Knock on wood that was the problem.

No burning plastic smell. This is the first time in 33 years I've had this problem. It just happened all of a sudden. I'm going to replace the dimmer switch.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Do you think it could be a bad headlight switch?

I should mention I do have headlights, but also no high beams.. and no brake lights.

Ok thank you for the quick response. I've never had this issue until last week, and I've owned the car 33 years. I did add one more autometer gauge. I have all my lights into a distribution block and then one wire goes to the fuse to power the lights.
