This is the electrical
panel where all the accessories and such are
terminated. From the main battery cables to
the tail light wires it will all be here. Lower
terminal strip: The MSD Programmable Digital
7 ignition control and hand held programmer.
Two terminal strips, one strip is for the wires
from the MSD Digital Ignition and will have
the ignition on-off wire, the 2-step wire, the
burnout rev limit wire, shift light wire and
the RPM switch wire. Not sure if I will use
all of these but they will be available if I
need them. Upper terminal strip: All accessories
will hook up here. Water pump, radiator fan,
lights, ignition and electric fuel pump when
we run one. The large red cap is a MSD Noise
Filter to prevent interference from ignition
getting into other electrical circuits. I have
used them for 15 years and never had electrical
interference problems.
6. I ordered seven spools of 16-gauge wire,
each a different color. I ordered four different
sizes of spade connectors and some butt connectors.
Add in three different sizes of heat shrink
tubing, a 1000 amp disconnect switch and a Maxi-fuse
holder, and the total order was a little over
$100.00. I always try to find the non-insulated
connectors. The reason is I like to crimp the
wire on the metal part of a connector and then
slide the heat shrink over it and seal it that
way. Do the more common insulated connectors
work? Yes they do, I just feel more confident
seeing the crimp rather than hoping on the other
side of the plastic insulator it worked like
it was supposed to. Again. It is a personal
preference thing and that choice is up to you.
7. To solder or not to solder. I chose not
to solder because I have never had a problem
from not soldering. Seems like a waste of time
if you crimp the connection correctly it will
be fine. If you can't crimp it correctly what
makes you think you can solder it correctly.
The soldering also makes the wire more brittle
in my opinion. Again, it is a personal choice
and everyone probably has a different opinion.

switch panel. The quality switches with built-in
indicator lights and the circuit breakers rather
than fuses convinced me to give it a try.
