Fuse Box Wiring Gauges?

Post by hivewax »

I need to know the gauge of all the wiring connected to the fuse block. I'm replacing the original rusty fuse block with a Bussmann mini-fuse block and need to buy Delphi Metri Pack 280 female tangless terminals. Anyone know from the top of their head? :D

Just ordered a bunch of terminals between 10 and 20 gauge. Hope nothing is larger than 10 gauge.

Nope, nothing larger then 10 gauge, should only be maybe one wire that is 10 and the rest will be 12 and 14 gauge... :thup:

Here is the before and after for the fuse block.

Got all of them fused on the constant side (black w/yellow strip) except the heater and instrument lights. I will probably move the turn signals on the ACC side later on.
