Need a fuse box - how many circuits?
I rewired my car a few years back by re-wiring the stock fuse block (stupid looking back on it, but it worked). I pulled the dash out to put in a heaterbox and Im getting sick at looking at the rats nest under there! Im staring all over and actually taking my time making my own harness. But I want to use a universal fuse block rather than reuse my stock one AGAIN. Im not sure how many circuits I could integrate into 1 fused location. Here's what Im going to be running:
Elec. fan (single)
blower motor
pwr windows
headlights/turns/tails/brake lights
MSD box
horn
autometer gauges (lighting)
starter (duh)
fuel pump
maybe a few more. Could I combine some of the 12v leads of the circuits, like the lighting? Having 1 12v hot source coming into the box, 1 wire going out, then spilcing 1 wire off of that to run my gauge lights, another to my turns. Looking for the easiest and cleanest way to do this, without buying a a junkyard harness.
Im also going to have my HSR setup sometime in the spring, not sure what type of ECM Im gonna be running. Any input/suggestions?

Re: Need a fuse box - how many circuits?
I got a couple fuse blocks if your interested in a stock look. As far as combining things, wouldn't it be easy to diagnose if things were seperated? Just a thought.
