I am in process of putting a new wiring harness from american autowire into my 68 charger. I am concerned with the fuse that protects the main dash power feed. They use double mega fuse both at 175 amps. So i get the 175 amp fuse for the alternator/battery connection but looks like the 175amp fuse on main dash 10awg feed is way too much. i am no expert but seems the wire will burn up before fuse fails? I have seen some discussion of this on a couple chevy forums and the question was posed to american autowire but not resolved. I know there are some very knowledgable people on the forum so lookin for opinions or clarifications. i was guessing it should be round 50 amps not 175. Here is a schematic of the diagram they provide.
i am also using 4awg wire instead of 6 because i will be using a higher output alternator for dual fans, ac, electric fuel pump additions. Connections will be done at junction post versus the battery terminal on starter. Any help appreciated.
