If you can wait a day or too I will compose my way of doing it from beginning to
end along with where to get the pieces what kind of wire minimums etc to keep
everyone out of trouble. I have to travel the next couple of days so it will
give me something to do while i am en route.. Going to do a tune up on a V-12
Jag that is a group 44 car.. 6 liters and no clue as to how much power other
than all it will make .. Expansion and ease of maintenance is the real key to
this. Most of all i will start with if you solder a terminal it will fail.. It
is all about good crimpers and sealing out the nasty stuff. Oh yeah no butt
spices or 'taps' either. If you own any throw them out now they are worse than
wire nuts.. Let me know if you want the cheap and dirty way of doing because if
so I won't bother to take the time to write it.. If it costs 3 or 400 to wire
the car and own the correct crimpers is that a problem??
