Power dist block

[50dude]

Have numerous wires going to starter can i install a power dist block between battery and starter and run everything to that with just one wire to starter

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.

i have a 250 amp power dist stud that i was going to run from main cutoff switch thru stud to starter then also run alt cable to stud and a #8 to a 150 amp dist block to pick up the remaining 6 wires i need for power i know it seems like alot of connections but i ran everything under my seat to keep it clean will this work?thanks

[joedoh]

just be sure the connections are clean and tight and dont skimp on the crimps, should be fine.

I am guessing you want the cut off for theft prevention? its a good idea

Yes on main dis switch and thank you very much for your help

I used a positive battery cable with a built in 10 ga. wire attached to it. I put a distribution buss on the side of the battery box. I then ran a fusible link and 12 ga wires to the headlight and a/c relays I wanted to power. Picture does not show the supply that bolted to the left end. I got the buss at local auto electric shop.

In my case I ran a Maxi fuse between the alternator post and the main panel then to the fuse and relay circuits. All this is mounted behind the seat. There are a lot of wires and circuits when doing an LS swap.

Try running the battery cable to the starter, and another 00 gauge wire from the starter back up to under the seat to run everything else.
Just two wires.
For security, try running the battery ground through the cutoff instead of the positive.
