I need to buy a 150 amp in-line fuse. Going on 6 gauge wire from solenoid to new 135 Amp alternator. Where to buy. The local parts stores do not carry anything like this. Claud

Just what the hell are you wiring - the sound system to a Motley Crew concert?
Nah, Powermaster recomends a 150 amp fuse for my new alternator. Wire runs from the post on the alt. to the solenoid. They said to use 8 gauge wire. I already have about 10' of 6 gauge so I will probably use it. They (Powermaster) said I don't have to use a fuse but it is protection for a high $$ alt. Claud
Try using a breaker switch instead. It'll cost more, but you won't have to buy replacement fuses.
I saw some of those. But none were close to 150 amp. Do you know were I can get a switch? Claud
