I purchased this fuse.  It turns red hot and failed

Is this the correct fuse?  The glass fuse works, no problems

I would like a metal fuse, but clearly this one is not good

Where can I get a good one???

What circuit is this for?  

Windows and convertible top, in the fuse block left side under dash. You can see it if you lay down in the drivers foot well.  It is the location of all the fuses

Thanks

Ok, I know that fuse, but have never had a reason to mess with it.

I'll leave it to more knowledgable people to answer.  

Sounds like we shouldn't ever operate the power windows and the top at the same time. (Common sense, too.)

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

Hey guys,

I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments
