Can a 3g be damaging overkill? Reply #135 – October 04, 2007, 04:43:21 PM The EEC power relay has a 5 second dropout delay after ignition off.You may want to consider putting a diode across the cooling fan relay coil. When you open the circuit to the coil, the collapsing magnetic field induces a current. The diode provides a path for that current. Otherwise the current could go through other components that share the same wiring, the ignition coil maybe. Or it may arc across the ignition switch contact. Quote Selected
Can a 3g be damaging overkill? Reply #136 – October 04, 2007, 06:11:55 PM I did the 3g swap on my 83. I just put mail blade terminals on the two wires off the back of the d plug and plugged them into the now unplugged regulator plug. Didn't even upgrade the wire going to the battery. Ran it that way forever. Car didn't have a high current draw so I wasn't worried. The output wire never got hot either. I was in a pinch, the only reason I ran it that way.. but it worked. The swap is a very simple swap. Quote Selected
