Sorry both of my cars (with this) are in storage and 50 miles away.

This is the terminal block
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.js...rentPage=search

It does 8 connections but can be cut down smaller with a hacksaw, don't over torque the screws when you mount it. Small ring connectors from the FLAPS will need to be filed a hair to fit and I take the plastic cover off them so they look sort of stock. I colour code the wires and shrink wrap them.
The whole harness stays on the engine when I drop it.
BTW My 67 bus has a 75amp alt. and I run it thru this block with no problem...even though it says 15 amp on the ratshack site.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
