Power for stand alone
 
How many circuits have you used, what parts and where did you get them to power up your truck harness? I know there are several ways to do this and I would like some ideas.

You can use a factory truck under hood fuse box....This the easiest way, No mods to the actual engine harness.

This is a pic of 2tone77's truck that I converted Using a GM under hood fuse box, 05 LQ9/4L65E.

Too late for the original fuse box. I ditched it when I stripped the truck two years ago. I have all the wires seperated in the same order as stock to the best of my knowledge. I was planning on putting them on seperate fuses and them have a relay to power it all up.

Hardhead,

I think Clinebarger's setup is the way to go. Wish I had done mine that way.

I bought a surplus fuse box from the Texas Highway Patrol that ran all their accessories. It had all the necessary fuses and relays to allow me to wire every circuit exactly like the diagram in the service manual for the vehicle my engine came out of. But it took a fair amount of work. Two years happy running and no problems.

I run the old truck wiring as a 60 amp fused circuit out of this box as well.

Good luck,

TR

I used a 6 circuit fuse block from Advance Auto, I then cut the buss into so that 4 circuits are switched thru relays and 2 stay hot. My donor fuse block was way to much trouble to make work like I wanted to.

You have 4 fuses powering 8 Injectors, 8 Coils, 2 O2 heaters, A MAF, & the transmission? I spent alot of time on this thread you started....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=521747 ?
