One more question. What are the suggested improvements that one should make
while doing this? I know there are several devices that remove the loads
from the ignition switch and headlight switch. What about new fuse panels
like the one sold on Pantera Electronics web site? Advantages,
disadvantages? I am looking at the weather pack products.
I also know there are some guys that sell improvements, I would love to hear
from you, or even about you.
Thanks

Bill Taylor's drawings on Pantera Place are very good:

There are also color drawings by other contributors if you scroll down. I
suppose you could take the file into Costco and have a poster made?

To All:
Wasn't someone on the Forum selling color coded wiring diagrams at one
time? I can't remember who it was. I know the wire colors can vary
from car to car but it would be a big help to have one anyway.
