<VV> Electrical questions

[Jim Bannister]

Andy,
There was a discussion a while back about the fusible link.  It's really
only a piece of wire four sizes smaller than the wire that it's protecting.
Why not install a proper fuse.  The Maxi-fuse was suggested as a good
candidate.  Makes for a nice way to disable the car when parked in
unfriendly territory.  Just pull the fuse and put it in your pocket.
NAPA
Holder 782-7771
20 amp 782-1077
30 amp 782-1078
40 amp 782-1079
50 amp 782-1085
60 amp 782-1086
 
Outside of NAPA, I think you can get up to 80 amp fuses and I think the
maker is Littlefuse.
I just did a quick google and found zillions of hits on "maxi-fuse".

Guys,
I have two questions:
1 - I want to put a fusible link into the main power wire.  However, I went
to the auto parts place, and the FLs they had only had the wire gauge
listed; no amp rating.  Any recommendations what gauge wire fusible link to
use?

2 - I am doing some rewiring by the engine.  A non-Corvair guy recommended a
ballast resistor that feeds the coil 'about 8 volts'.  Is that correct, or
should it be 6 volts?

Thanks,
Andy K.
