update electrical with plug in fuses

[Jerry1]

Well lets see I am in the middle of a restore on a 67 912. I would like to share this with you all and get feed back on fuse sizes.
I started with putting all the wires on a terminal strips from 1-281. Ignition Switch fuse 1-2-3
2. DC+ fuse 5-6-7-8

3. Fog lts fuse 9
4. lt sw tan fuse 10
5. lt sw purple fuse 11
6. lt sw green fuse 12
7. low beam/high bypass fuse 13-14
8. high beam fuse 15-16
9. stop sw fuse 4
10. spare
11. spare
12. spare

13. stop sw/backup sw fuse 1
14. coil fuse 2
15. gauge power fuse 3
16. stop lts fuse 4
17. lt sw power fuse 5
18. wiper motor/switch fuse 6
19. horn/flashers fuse 7
20. interer lt/cig/clock fuse 8
21. fog lts fuse 9
22. fog lt sw/lic/luggage lts fuse 10
23. rt park ft/rr fuse 11
24. lt park ft rr fuse 12
25. low beam/high bypass fuse 13
26. low beam fuse 14
27. high beam/high indicator fuse 15
28. high beam fuse 16

1. stop lt sw/backup sw 5. lt switch 9. fog lts 13. low beam
2. coil 6. wiper motor/sw 10. lic/lug/fog sw14. low beam
3. gsuge power 7. horn/flashers 11. park rt 15. high beam
4. stop lts 8. lts/cig/clock 12. park lt 16. high beam

I custom made a fuse block with 16 fuses
I could use some help on the fuse sizes and is it ok to put the coil on a fuse

[Jerry1]

wire # 1 through 12 are the line side of the fuses.
wire # 13 through 28 are the load side of the fuses

Jerry,

I would not put the ignition or coil on a fuse.

Be sure you provide future owners (and yourself) a DETAILED diagram of what you did. Trust me, in 3-4 years you will not remember exactly what you did when you are chasing an electrical gremlin. Be sure your color coding also matches the factory colors to ease troubleshooting in the future.

Since you will have deviated from the Factory setup, you should be aware that most pros will not be willing to touch the electrical systems in your car.

Jerry,Be sure to check the back of the old fuse holders. There will likely be some jumpers built in that you will need to replicate. Also, follow the advice fromHarryD and keep a detailed schematic with wire colors, etc. When you go toconnect the new fuse box into the existing wiring harness, be certain to usethe very best connectors that you can buy. This is not a place to get cheap!Just be careful, go slow and double check each connection. With care, there is no reason that your new fuse box will cause any problems. Also, you willbe amazed at how many small electrical issues simply "go away" after doingthis upgrade. Good luck with your project.Here are a couple of pictures of the conversion that I did several years ago
in my SC.

Where can wiring with the stock coloring be found?

Sorry - I meant actual wires with sheathing in factory colors, not the wiring diagrams.

Thanks,
Tom

IIRC, Eagle Day - not cheap

may be other places but can't recall...

Be nice if someone made a run of the correctly jumpered fuse blocks with the fuses all in order...

[Jerry1]

Can someone give me the fuse sizes for the circuits I can't find them in any of my books
