I agree with you. The wiring in these old girls are marginal at best. That's why I made a fuse panel for my Dart and 2 of my buddies Mopars. While we were at it we move everything Ignition boxes, starter relay, voltage regulator and on the last 2 we even removed the bulkhead connector. We then welded up all of the screw holes for these items before painting. This makes for a cleaner engine compartment. Here's a pic of the latest. We made this one with a relay box for the headlights and the ability to have the factory ignition box as a backup Incase of a MSD failure. All you need to do is unplug a connector and push a button on the dash to toggle the relay and power up the factory ignition box. All wiring is at least 12 gauge for higher draws, 14 for lower draw circuits and 8 gauge for alternator feed.
