I am currently working on wiring up my 68 with a kit from EZ wiring. While doing so I have moved the battery to the trunk using the kit from Summit Racing. My questions are:
Should I put a fuse inline with the postive lead at the battery?
If so where can I find such a fuse?
I have seen 175A "Mega Fuses" but my reading says a starter can pull almost double that.
I can run the postive lead up to the starter and be fairly confident the insulation won't chafe, get cut, cause a short and possible fire. However from my days installing amplifiers we always put fuses as close to battery as we could.
Am I being paranoid? Should I just be careful where I run the wire and hope for the best?
