Like the title say's. I'm looking for a few simple electrical circuits.
This for a 90% drag car.

1. ignition circuit
2. starter circuit
3. 3 wire charging circuit
4. electric fan, water pump etc. "basicly a opional circuit"

All without the use of the stock 69 Chevelle ignition key switch.
BTW: I do have the factory electrical schematic. But I'm looking for
basic system.
Thank you for taking the time to read me thread.

Does it have to use factory wiring? I would run a 4 gauge wire from the battery to a junction and then run separate wires from that to your switches.

Check with street rod suppliers, they have small wire harnesses as used in T buckets and roadsters with only 10 or 12 total circuits. Usually very inexpensive, around $100 for a whole kit with wiring, fuse box, etc. Good luck, Jim.

Nope. The factory wiring is the problem. So I thought I would just delete it and build some circuits.

Ok thanks for the tip. I did look at some from Painless. But I'm a little rushed to get this project done. It will take at least 10 days to ship to me.

Will this Painless system run the circuits I'm looking to build for.
For I do have one of these units from Painless.
This is what I would like to run off of it.
1. ignition circuit
2. starter circuit
3. 3 wire charging circuit
4. electric fan "24 amps"
5. Plus a "basically a optional circuit"

Maybe you guys didn't understand my question. I'm looking for drawings of circuits. Not parts.
Thanks

When you say drawings, do you mean schematics? Can you read electrical diagrams?
Just trying to clarify what is needed.

Yes I can read them, could maybe just go ahead and draw some up.
But if some one has them already and they work. Then I would be interested..
Thanks.

Well thank you. :yes:
