So when did they start putting on fusible links? I had mentioned that in my first attempt at posting. (which was blown away by ISP - grrr) 64's have relatively primitive electrical systems, with some surprising things un-fused. I keep my cars in garage with batterries disconnected to avoid unfortunate incidents. Now the 2003 Chevy truck otoh - I'd be sure to call the Fire Dept after 15 minutes or so..... ; ) Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA
