    the zip ties? oh yeah, lots of them. We didn't solder much on airplanes really. We used connectors like David Oliver beats it to. If anything I just learned to be more anal that I was used to.

    that zip tie trick rocks! I also like throwing a zip tie around relays and connectors to make sure they don't wiggle loose.
    what's the gig with GM round relays? What did they come in?

    If you want a BIG bus bar, look for one from a CUCV chevy military truck. They are ****ing huge and have two seperate circuits. One has three posts and the other has five. The one I mentioned before from the early 90's chevy should do you just fine though, and is MUCH smaller. The 90's one is about 1" x 5" long and the cucv one is about 6" tall by 12" long.

    did a little junkyardin Saturday and couldn't find any of the busbars you were talking about in the pre-88 chevy trucks, but just about every old body style Dodge has a nice junction bar on the passenger side inner fender

    Thats cause the ones I am talking about came in POST-88 trucks, the body style like my crewcab and your maroon truck. I dont know if the TBI motors had the bus bar but I know the vortecs did.

    the new CRAWL has an article on wiring tech...pretty basic but still useful.
    oh and I ended up with double the stuff I ordered from Waytek (HD shrink tubing assortment and relay holders/pins), so if anyone needs some I gotum.

    You ever find a bus bar? Turns out I have an extra one at 1224 but I'll be in Kingsville for the next two weeks.
