    Optimizing Wire Gauge for Maximum Amperage in Automotive Circuits

    It's my 40 year old 70 Lincoln Mk III...and I had a relay blow and I can't find any literature on what was the amperage rating of the relay. Also, the previous owner of the car replaced a lot of the wiring in the engine compartment due to a small engine fire. So I'm not 100% sure the supply...

    Optimizing Wire Gauge for Maximum Amperage in Automotive Circuits

    My cars factory wire diagram is not that helpful - If a wire is feeding a terminal block that supplies 12v to a 20amp circuit (power windows) and the other is a 30amp circuit (A/C), and the possibility exists for both circuits to be drawing max amperage, shouldn't that main supply wire be able...

    Noise suppressor improves reception, why?

    Thanks for the answers! That validated that I wasn't completely off-base on my deductions.

    Noise suppressor improves reception, why?

    Newbie here, not an EE, just an old Air Force electronic tech from the 70's...please be gentle. :) I recently installed a noise suppressor inline to the 12v on my 70 Lincoln AM/FM radio. It cleaned up the "whining" noise just fine - but one interesting side note is that my FM stations come...
