ok i finally got to wiring up my car to get rid of all the fusible links but instead of using a fuse box from later dodge i used a pdc and then wired it to a fuse block but now when i turn the key everything is good but one it starts it blows the first fuse which is the 12 guage alt wire could the fuse im using be too small i am using a 40 amp maxi fuse medium size
You have to watch, there are 2 thick wires going to the alternator and one is the ground and they both run pretty close to eachother.Originally Posted by scarface1689

For alternator, you need 160 amp maxi fuse
so by using the 40 amp it just overloads it
the two thick wires going to the alt run in the harness that runs across the front of the engine. They come up to the drivers side and one originally hooks to the - battery harness and the other runs to the fusable links.
