Re: electrical fuse problem
I use one of these, takes the spade type (AGC) fuses. While it's not water-proof, it is resistant.

Re: electrical fuse problem
If you are running an alternator that is capable of putting out 30 amps it should be considered that if the battery is extremely low after start up, the alternator may be sending 30 amps to the battery, which will have to travel through the fuse. Tom Endy |

Re: electrical fuse problem
When I was into Spridgets (MG Midget/Austin Healey Sprite), the model A of sports cars, one of our best restorers always added a "smoke test" guage to his dash. He converted an old guage, added a "test" button, and mounted a hair dryer heater smeared with grease inside the guage.
A push of the button caused smoke to pour out of the guage. All Brit car guys know the wire if full of smoke, and and your smoke leaks out all at once, the car is toast...(pun intended). Wonder if there would be a market for "original" Ford Model A smoke test guages?
