I plan to take a look at that site myself when I get the chance, but do you
have one installed, Paul, or know of anyone who does? I can appreciate
'something new' instead of playing with old stuff, but it's comforting to be
able to go to a manual and trace Alpine wiring out easily... I wonder how
confusing it might be with a generic setup?

Bob,
No such thing as a dumb question. Painless is very popular with the Hot Rod
crowd, and their people are helpful.
Their website is...http://www.painlesswiring.com
Basically you get a wiring harness with the fuse box wired in, and the
harness has many fuses verses the 2 fuses that come with Sunbeams standard.
You can have curcuits for power door locks, power windows, cruise control, a
radio, air conditoning, cooling fans, hazards light, etc...
Harnesses come with instructions, and all you need are reasonable skills,
alot easier (I think) than starting from scratch.
They can be bought at places like Summit Racing, Jegs High Performance, and
a lot ofdecent sized local speed shops.
