Junction Block

I am wiring up power door locks & alarm system in a 72. There will be about 4 different items that need power. I was thinking of putting a junction block behind the seat on the floor(gas tank is not in the cab it has a blazer tank w/ sidemarker fill) What I am after is not having a bunch of wires running to the engine compt. Does any one have ideas & or pics? Mike

Re: Junction Block

Why not put one on the inside of the firewall under the dash. You would be running the wires thru the front door jams anyway but wouldn't have to run wires back and forth from the back of the cab

The power door lock wire loom & relay is under the dash & there is not alot of room left for the alarm control box,shock sensor,valet switch,starter kill relay etc.

Re: Junction Block

I used a junction box that I believe is used for computers. has two rows of screws, which one screw "junctions" with the screw in the opposite row. What I did was take all the screws off, lay a wire along the center, then solder at each intersection making all the screws "hot". Heres a couple of pictures from radio shak, excatly what I used.

Re: Junction Block

Car audio places sell some good power distribution stuff all the way up to 0 gauge, might be a good place to look. This is a uk site but it gives you an idea of what to look for http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/inde...cPath=73_56_62
