fuse board for efi retrofit

Hey all,

If this isn't appropriate, mods, please let me know.

I've drawn up a PC board for retrofitting EFI systems into cars that never had em, or had a different style. I got tired of ganging together a bunch of fuses here and there, and hacking into orginal stuff, and hate when there's relays hanging all over, kind a personal neatness in wiring thing, but......anyway, the board is about 3.5" by 4.5" and has a dozen ATO (2 blade) fuses, and three relays. The fuse clips(2 per fuse) are like 50 cents, but you need to have a min qty. Silkscreened with fuse names, etc, like the following:

fused to battery:
Cooling fan
2 spares(or 1 MAF, 1 Spare)
ECM memory
Injector A
Injector B

fused to ignition:
2 spares
ECM
Ign
AIR/EGR
Fuel Pump

three relays one of which is a spare, one connected for a factory style fan control, and one connected for factory fuel pump control all three have diode protection for the coil. the relays are the small square 40 amp automotive fuses, about 4 bucks each from digikey

the board is designed to fit 12 guage wire max, soldered in plated holes, and there are spare holes and multiple holes for current capacity.

I wanna order some boards, and I was guaging if anyone was interested in buying one? I was going to get 10 boards, and they are about 30 bucks apeice, or 20 boards, and the price drops to like 20 bucks, cause of tooling charges.

i've attached an image(hopefully, it works), if you are interested, just reply to this thread(is that ok Mods?) if people are interested, it would take about 14 days or so to get em.

thanks,
Joe

I just used the underhood fuse/power block that came with the wiring harness from the 95 roadmaster i got my motor from. It had 2 fuses to run the body which is nicer than fusible links. it also had relays for the fans and whatever and fuses for the whole motor.
