Wiring a stocker?
 
I would like to hear suggestions about what switch panel you racers recomend for a automatic stocker? Also I want to rewire the MSD etc, is there a panel that contains everything in one spot? I mean a panel that has the fuses and breakers etc. already mounted? Any suggestions and/or pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks

Robert

Robert,

Here is a link to some nice switch panels that I have used myself. You can't beat it for quality and ease of use and install. They come with everything you need, very trick.

Gary, I will call you later about the switches, thanks for the reply. Is this what you put in the stocker? Or the SS only?

Mack, is this what you are putting in your new car? That does look trick.

Ken, that is what I was thinking. Did not know Biondo sold that. Do you know if they will produce a switch panel with more switches that what was shown? I have a switch for my 3 step etc?

Thanks guys keep the ideas coming.

we have an Auto Rod Controls box in the vette, the camaro had a Painless Box in it when we got it. I'll be putting an Auto Rod Controls box in it over the winter.

I have used Biondo panels. They have a panel mount or a remote box style. They have been in the cars for 3 years no problems. They are also available with they dial in display in the unit.

the ARC (116-8000R) and Biondo (DDI-1036-B) switch panels are about $250 and the K+R (572-SD-SPD) panel is $500. whats the difference?

Robert,

You would need to contact Biondo racing to what options they have.

When it comes to wiring I get pretty anal. By far this is the best panel I have ever used. ARC is a nice setup, but they do not offer the features that the Mega Panel does. The Maga Panel was designed by Biondo Racing, and is well though out.

Steve, very minor difference between K&R and Biondo. The price is one and the style of coarse. I like the round illuminated start button, very nice and very trick. The Biondo Maga Panel also comes in many different configurations.

Robert, Yes I'm putting the K&R in the new car... I also have one in my Barracuda that has been there for 4 or 5 years... Not as much as a blown fuse... I'm sold on K&R...... The K&R also comes complete with marked and color coded wire, wire ends, shrink wrap and wire ties... Just run your supplied power to relay/fuse panel and pull supplied wires from there.... I'll try to get a picture of mine..... Just my .02........ Mack

Steve, the K&R is much more than just a switch panel it includes a circuit board with all relays, premium wiring that is marked every 6 inches, all connectors, heat shrink, and one cord that goes from the switch panel to the circuit board. i used this on my son Andrew's car last winter when I built it, and I am going to re-wire my car this winter with the K&R product. Check it out on their web site.You will not be sorry you used this. A lot of the finest car builders in our industry are using this including PK race cars and B&B race cars.

Mack, thank you for the pictures, they are just the right size. Are you mounting your MSD close to that panel? Thanks and I will look into what everyone suggested.

There is one small draw back on that K&R panel. There is one 15 amp fuse that controls the power to the switch panel harness and if it pops you have no switch panel functions at all. Emmons was fighting this problem on there Camero at Ennis last weekend. It appears the alt. was causing this problem, but there a couple of other items on that circuit that could be the problem.

No Robert... I'm using the FAST ingition..... Mounted under the dash.... Mack

Kirk, I did not know this. What other items on that circuit do you think there is a problem? Are the Emmons considering changing?

Ken, is your "fuse panel" mounted on a same panel as your ing box? If possiable would you send me a picture of how yours is layed out? I will e-mail Biondo next week. I like the ARC but I have a problem with the switches, if one goes out you are in a world of hurt. I mean you can not just replace the one switch. Thanks again.

Kirk Morgan 10-03-2010 11:46 AM

Re: Wiring a stocker?
 
I was trying to help them with out a wiring diagram, so i cannot answer that question correctly. I looked at the back of the circuit board and from what i could tell the items that were on that fuse were, alt., trans., remote starter and the power for the switch panel. All of the switches are serviced as one unit just like a ARC unit, but the ARC unit i use does not have one fuse that powers all the switches. The switches on the K&R panel work relays in the main circuit board. My thought was if the alt. did not fix the problem there maybe a short in one of the switches. The fuse was blowing intermittently. I do not know what the Emmons are going to do if the problem is not solved.

All wiring goes through the Mega Panel relay board. I do not have another fuse panel.

If you do have another fuse panel you would need to supply 12 volts. I would not see why you would need another fuse panel. The Mega Panel has everything you need to wiring a race car. Its very well laid out. Visit Biondo Racing and go to the panel link, there are links and pictures of all the components.

Another great thing the Mega panel is the “Panic Button feature" It enables you to connect a button to kill all power in case of an emergence.

The Mega Panel offers more features than any other panel in the business, along with being the least expensive. Dealing with Biondo Racing also makes it a plus, when it comes to customer service, they are the best.
