Re: Power dist block

I wouldnt run a distribution block between the starter and the battery, it is a 80-125A capable circuit and you would be putting 4 extra voltage drops in the line (crimp, ring, ring, crimp) where resistance will cause heat.

your distribution block would also need to be capable of this high current, or it will melt.

better would be to keep the main line to the starter and pull another main line to a distribution block that will feed all the wires that come off the starter. This will keep your high current line uninterrupted and allow you to only have two large wires at the starter. alternatively you could run a second large line from the battery to a distribution block and out to all the other wires that come off the starter.
