voltage regulator 68 sprite

[duplaga1952]

on my wiring diagram it shows 7 wires coming from the volt reg to various places. i have an eighth wire , about 6-7 inches in length w/ a female spade conector on the end. 6 of the 7 wires are brown w/a colored stripe the 7th is a black ground . the 8th is solid brown . any clue to the mistery wire's use and destination my vin # 74199

also there are no fuses in the fuse box (2) or in the 4 inline fuses the haines book says 17 amp . what american amp fuse would i use?

thanks bob.

Bob, regarding your fuse question, this information was provided courtesy of Dave Russell. Dave is about the "Guru-est of gurus" in these parts.

"If you are wondering, you can replace Brit fuses with US fuses. Due to different rating systems, Brit fuses & US fuses will have different numbers for APPROXIMATELY the same ratings.

Brit (Lucas)--------US (SFE AGC)
5-----------------------3
10----------------------5
20---------------------10
25---------------------15
30---------------------15
35---------------------20
50---------------------25
Later Lucas fuses are dual marked to eliminate some of the confusion. An example is the 17/35. In this case the 17 is the approximate continuous current carrying capacity & 35 would be the fast blow rating.
This means that a single marked 35 or a dual marked 17/35 amp marked Lucas fuse is about the same as a 20 amp marked BUSS fuse.

Edit:
The US ratings are the continuous current carry ratings. In this case the Lucas fuse marked 35 or 17/35 would have a continuous rating of 17 & the US 20 rating would be close with it's continuous rating of 20.

Thanks, Dave!
