I've dedicated that one to the headlights. One night in my '27 on an interstate, I blew a fuse on the headlights at 70 mph with traffic all around me. It was real scarey trying to get over to the emergency lane in pitch darkness, and I was wearing sunglasses. I had to wear sunglasses even at night because the windshield was chopped so much.

Anyway, I swore I would never use a fuse in that position again, so I put a resetable (sp) circuit breaker right next to the high and low beam switch. If it ever pops again I can just reach down and push the button in to reset it.

Thanks Bobby for the tip. Strange as it sounds, I just want to run this thing as a stripped down modified, and the 3 gauge thing has grown on me.

BTW, that red box is a 30 amp maxifuse that I dedicated for the electric fan and fuel pump, in case anyone is wondering.
