I understand (but do not necessarily agree with) the reasons why some people want to modify the wiring system. To each his own. However, to state that "a few more fuses and some switch-saving relays are always a good idea if you really want to use the car" is going too far. I must disagree! I would say that a well maintained car (regardless of whether it is original or modified) is always a good idea. I have seen a lot of poorly executed modifications that in my opinion made the car less reliable & harder to trouble shoot.

Very neat. It is not necessary to make it over-complicated, but a few more fuses and some switch-saving relays are always a good idea if you really want to use the car.

I hope you don’t mind input from a Triumph guy, but I restored a car last year which had an electric overdrive, electronic (1,2,3) ignition, an electric fan and an electric fuel pump. On previous cars I would have daisy-chained them all into the one (non-horns) fuse in a TR3, but for this car I got a modern system (see pic) and it has worked out really well.
Just my 2 cents…

Lin,
That is not exactly a fair comparison. The entire Healey wiring system was designed with the electrical loads in mind. And when kept in good condition has proven to work very well. It is not an easy task to modify the existing system to accommodate multiple relays, additional wiring, & additional fuses. And in my opinion it becomes more difficult to trouble shoot & not necessarily any more reliable.

Do you have your oven, stove, refrigerator, lights, receptacles, air conditioning, air compressor, car lift and etc on two fuses?

That has just happened to me and I wanted to share some news about my finding. I have absolutely no financial interest. Those of us who have 60s era cars are used to the ubiquitous two fuse Lucas fuse box, and how limiting it is. A fellow named Marc Goldblatt, A mechanical engineer and owner of Classic Technologies, has developed a very compact Fusebox consisting of seven relays, 15 fuses and 34 wiring positions perfectly suited for our cars and at a very reasonable price.

In addition to the fuse box Marc provides a fantastic wiring schematic and directions and he will also help with the development of a custom wiring harness. Alternatively, great directions are provided for adaptation of the box to an original harness already in place in the car.

I only wish that he had his fuse box on the market when I restored my Healey. Anyway, check out his site, I think you will like what you see. http://www.classic-technologies.com/
