I'm toying with the idea making my own quick disconnect harnness for the starter since I have to trim down the wires on the V6 harness to replace my hacked original. But this is if I don't use the maxi fuse box to replace the fusible links. In the parts pool is a weather pak connector set with correct gauge boots, new fusible links, recycling the starter wire section, hi-temp conduit. Thing with this idea is going with a three wire or four wire so the heater-A/C module has its own fusible link since I have seen alot of burnt connectors where the A/C power & engine harness plugs connect. This will also help with the harness I'll be making for the set up to do the break-in I'm trying to plan to do next month. Anyone ever used one in the past & was it worth it or just better to have the wires be continuous to the factory splices?

If you use a remote solenoid you will only have one battery cable hooked up to your starter and it won't have power unless you are cranking the engine and your fusible links can be far away from exhaust heat.

I used the fusible link to a weatherpack in my cutlass without issue.

Or you could buy one of these :unsure:
