      Installing numorous electrical devices

      I am finishing up my project and I am currently in the electrical stage and I have no idea how to wire in all the different electrical devices I have for the car. For example I have two electric bottle openers for the nitrous, two bottle warmers, the cpu for the gear venders over drive, MSD retard, Nitrous timer, etc. How do I connect all of these to a possitive (+) and negitive (-) power supply. Is there a special adapter or do I cut and splice into the keyed hot or constate hot power supply. What about grounding all of these? Any help is greatly appreciated.

      To use as a place to source power, run 1 wire from keyed source to here and start making connections.

      Relays are always a great help for things like bottle warmers and activators: (a million house hold uses!)

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?

      If you're looking to do the wiring yourself, but you're unsure on how the connections should be made, my company offers custom wiring diagrams that would be made specifically for your application. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

      Also, if you have basic questions or run into a problem, you can also PM me or post on here as their are a lot of knowledgeable people on this board

      There are lots of options for wiring these devices. Bussman has a panel PN 15303-5-2-4 that will give you 10 fuses and 5 relays in a small packaged. It uses Delphi Metri pack 280 sealed female terminals that can be easily gotten. If you need less. Look at this Delphi panels. One has 12 fuses and two relays PN 12110594 and the other has six fuses and four relays PN 12146815. The Delphi parts are all available at www.mouser.com. Watek Wire has the Bussman parts.

      All of these can be mounted anywhere; under hood, trunk or interior. The Bussman is even water proof.

      You can pm me as well for advice or suggestions. I am a fabricator of electrical harnesses for custom applications. I primarily use late model GM parts and update older vehicles. I would suggest to use a separate remote fuse block for all of your accessories using relays for activation, fused, etc. There are a lot of ways to build a harness for the features you want but I have several questions for you first. You really need a well thought out systematic approach and then have a detailed diagram drawn up. My questions revolve around your charging system requirements, NHRA approved controls (if need be), etc. So drop me a line-this will be fun!
