Re: Lifter rule in Stock
Looking at this diagram it's the way I have wired mine. But it still has a constant hot wire running to the alternator. Could you run this wire to the main switch and then to the battery ?? And if so how big of a switch (amp wise) should we use?

If you kill the main switch, you kill engine power. You kill engine power, you kill the alt. If I wire the alt. to the switched side of the main ( that feeds the fuse box), the engine will still run if the main disconnect is off because the alt. is still feeding 12v to the fuse box while the engine is still running. Thus the location of the alt. wire on the source side of the main switch, not the fuse box side. edit: Sorry Jeff if I de-railed your thread

The alt and big red wire to sol. would have to be on the other side of main switch to completely shut off current from the bat, pourpse of main disconnect. That alt wire is still hot according to that drawing. Last edited by Coleydog; 12-09-2016 at 06:08 PM. |

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
I've been trying to figure out for years why NHRA requires the master switch to be on the positive cable. It should be on the negative cable. It would be much safer and easier. No battery ground and everything will be killed. Somebody please explain to me why I'm wrong.

If there is an accident and the positive and negative crushed would still have a short and you have not addressed the issue of protecting both the front and rear batteries............ If wanted you could control the front battery with a constant duty rely....... Sorry I hijacked thisthread.... Bob

Hi, They should allow a maximum of 2 batteries and allow them to be located in the trunk for safety reasons, much the same that was done to allow.............. Front disc brakes...... Aluminum seats.......... Roller rocker arms.... Solid rear axles in IRS cars....... Aftermarket rods, pistons and valve train..... Full cages that extend through the firewall......... I am still trying to figure out the safety advantage of an aluminum radiator... I could go on and on about the STOCK rule changes for safety, but I will stop now.......... Bob

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
Sorry on hijacking this thread but when did NHRA allow aluminum radiators as replacement? I have been out of racing for a while!

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
The Safety people at the track would know that all door cars have their battterys in the back and controlled by the master cutoff switch.
