Wiring help
I need some wiring help… I’m trying to add some lights, to the car but I want to add the wiring and fuse through the stock fuse box… but not sure how to make that happen actually, any tips or directions of someone doing it?

Most of us that add additional circuits to our cars also add a new secondary fuse panel.
This way you can safely upgrade everything from your Alternator to electric fans to headlight relays, fuel pumps, EFI, extra lights, modern stereo's etc. etc.
There are a couple take offs in the fuse panel that are fused and can be taped into however.
The real question is, what are you intending to add? How many amps will this draw? And do you really wish to run this through a 50 year old system?

American Autowire Systems sells the connectors that plug into the stock fuse panel. See this thread for photos.

Here's my writeup on replacing every bulb in my 80 with LEDs, including adding new backup lights.
