    I have an 83 regal, i am going to rewire the car. here are the electical componets i will be running. All componets are on switches with a total kill switch in the car. Right now it run a buss bar that is hot on one side and i just plug in for each switch. I have no relays and no fuses. This was the simpilest way for me to wire since i am pretty much clueless in this department.

    1. Electric water pump.
    2. Starter
    3. MSD
    4. 2 Electric fans 1 push 1 pull
    5. Line lock
    6. Head lights
    7. Tail lights
    8. Total kill

    Should I run relays? if so what size for each componet? Should i run a fused switch panel? Right now i have melt away switches that break at 20 amps.

    Thanks

    Dustin,

    This is the best resource that I have found and used. With the help of Mark Hamilton I wired up all my race components as well as keeping lights, turn signals, etc functional. Here is the site: http://www.madelectrical.com/

    You will need relays and you will need the proper gauge wire. Lay everything out on paper prior to installing. A lot of planning in this area will save you future headaches down the road.

    Thanks that is a very useful site. I think it should take care of pretty much everything i had questions on.

    Thanks
