Hey all,

In the process of wiring circuits on my 42 Chevy truck. It has a 1958 12 volt gen/vr/starter so I am going to go with all 12 volt circuits. The original 6 volt design had two circuit breakers, one for the horn and one for the fuel sending unit. If going with 12 volts, what amperage circuit breaker should be sourced? I think the original 6 volt system used 15 amp circuit breakers. Your guidance is needed.

Thanks.

Paul

15 amp will work fine.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
