Thank you for being a part of our community!
Nice car, nice wiring! I agree with 142 guy about voltage drop and have had excellent results on 2 different cars by adding a couple of relays and heavy-gauge cable, no cutting required.
Daniel Stern (http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/relays/relays.html) has a lot of good tech info and prepared harnesses, or you can DIY.
Run new, fused 8-10ga wires to the relays and then on to the headlights via new connectors. Tap the existing headlight connector for power to switch the relays on and voila. Easily done, easily reversed.
Something about this picture just speaks to my soul. I?m just now catching up on your build thread and it?s amazing. It?s funny, I first saw your car on David Bello?s video of SLORolling. Then I saw from Rust to Rally, before finding your thread here. So cool, msn! I?m hoping to make it to SLO next year in my Amazon. You and many others here inspire me. When I saw your Luggage radio on David?s video I immediately started searching for one, lol. (Haven?t got one yet, but one day).
Awesome work, dude!
The fog lights look rad. Noticed your in Atascadero. That?s where I bought my 122 from. These 2 brothers, they had a few volvos, and some other nice classics. Maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Beautiful area.
Small world. I wonder who they are, I have a couple ideas but I know just about everyone in this county with a vintage Volvo, it's a pretty small area.
The end result looks worth it, but man that looks like a ton of work! I'm getting ready to head up to Paso for Targa805. Can't wait to see your Amazon in person again!
What's your altitude ? 45's seems like a lot of carbs for a B18 or B20.
