Lighter & Clock fuses

[John F.]

I saw these on one of the forums. Where can you buy these as added circuit protection.

You should be able to buy them from your neighborhood parts store.

Re: Lighter & Clock fuses

That was part of a presentation I did at a tech session years ago for the SoCal SACC. It would be in an old publication from ~2017. I will have to look for it. I fit several fuses and added ground wires for my 1957. They were direct plug-ins with the correct terminals. Remember an early C1 had no protection from the battery all the way to the horn relay, horns, generator, etc.

Most of the terminals and connectors in a C1 are the Packard Series 56 type. I was able to find them from Clips & Fasteners through Amazon. The items needed are:

• Male connector 2971962
• Female connector 2965142
• Male insulator 2962984
• Female insulator 2962448

Also needed are the other parts:
