I like this block from MAD Enterprises, but I don't know if they'll re-open. Does anybody know where I can get one that's similar? I've seen some on e bay or jegs catalog for $15, but I refuse to spend that much on these without at last trying to find it cheaper. MAD gets $7 with connectors, maybe old price but still. Thanks! EDIT-I forgot all about Radio Shack. It's worth a shot, they might have it. EDIT: here's what MAD says about it:The well-equipped car should have at least three of these terminal blocks. Install one under the hood on the firewall. Route the heavy gauge alternator out-put wire directly to the terminal block. And from the terminal block route a charging wire to battery POS. Connect the dash Main power-up here also, with a Fusible Link wire for short circuit protection. Connect Other Fusible Links here for Fan Relays, Headlight Relays, Fuel pump relays, and any other systems that need full 14 volts. Then mount two more terminal blocks under the dash Wire battery POS directly to one, and ignition switched ON/OFF to the other. These two under the dash are perfect for wiring gauges, sound system, and other accessories.
Heck go to any junk/bone yard and pull it from a chevy Van, truck, even some car had blocks kinda like the on the fire wall near the master. All it is Is a bulk connector Nothing special.
Gm.Go to the dealer find the oldest guy there.Ask for standard parts(for GM) book it has it.It was a on the firewall of 1974-1977 Gm truck.I have 4 junk ones they all have it.
So your saying MAD Electrical closed down? hhmm. i had ordered several parts from that company, quality product, great service.
Terminal Supply, a regular vendor at PRI and SEMA; are a great source, with helpful people. 1-800-989-9632. They have one similar; p/n 20301. Also just got a catalog from Del City; 1-800-654-4757, they carry a bunch of good stuff also. Both outfits have enough switches, terminals, connectors, etc to make the vast majority of HAMBER's totally geek out. I'll bet everyone could get free catalogs out of both firms.
That's awesome thank you storm king and everybody else that helped! I've tried to get ahold of MAD for months. I heard on another forum the owner was unfortunately very ill. I've only heard nice things about him.
Waytek has been a great source for me. Great service and prices. Check them out. http://www.waytekwire.com/
Wayek has great prices, but I think you have to be a shop owner to deal with them, you need a merchant accxount of some type. Del City has basically what I want for $4.59 Perfect! http://www.delcity.net/delcity/serv...412&childid=793415&page=1&pageitem=1&tabset=1 I ordered catalogs from all of them. Never woulda found them without y'alls help! Thanks!
I use them all the time--GM part # 10098794--they come in a box of ten--and the're cheap--like a buck or 2 apiece if I remember right.I buy em from my local Chevy guy--but any GM dealer can get that #.
Done! Just bought a 10 pack of them for $27.10 delivered from gmpartsdirect.com. The local dealer wanted like $4.70 each or $27 for a ten pack but I'd have to wait. I decided to go with the online place They're like $1.60 each but throw on $11 shipping and there ya go. I'll have some left over so I'll just put em up for sale in the classifieds. Also a 2 pole junction box is GM part #3996270 for the 2 pole junction block Thanks hotrodwille! You saved the day!
