Trailerpark fix for common 30 amp relay problem in the 455 buick wagon project

Great idea!! I love the videos have been watching along time now, keep the videos coming....

Fun fact. Thanks

That is the bomb man!

When I did my HEI swap I replaced the pink resistance wire with a regular wire 12 gauge I think.

Those little guys like to arc weld shut.

I usually grab relays from GM trucks at the junkyard, much better quality units, and nearly free

Good catch and fix. Grabbing some 3M Cambic tape from an electrician during his required afternoon nap would be a useful addition to your invention rare materials collection. Peace. While mentioning electrical tape, not all tape is created equal. 3M makes some excellent ones and there are probably several others out there too that I haven't looked for. I always have these 3 on hand: Super 33 for everything important, Super 88 which is slightly thicker for thicker customers, and a self vulvanizing rubber tape of which there are many but the main benefit is having one that becomes a single layer of rubber over time if applied correctly. More on proper tape stretch techniques after some lacrosse time with our Border Collie crosses. Nah I'm just messing with ya, it self teaches using the old accumulated failure method. Read the comments, paper tape sounds like a good name. You've already seen it before I presume?

Coil resistor

Here I is.

Any idea on how long this "fix" will last? Good info.

Actually it backfeeds from the alternator. If you put a diode in the wire, the current only feeds one way. I had this problem on a Chevelle after a motor swap. I decided to floor the throttle for a burnout on the street and the carb linkage got stuck wide open. I had a scary time with the street filling with tiresmoke while the brakes were straining to hold the vehicle from moving, and turning the ignition off did nothing. Switching to neutral would blow the engine... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0nyFxppPiI

Fun fact. Thanks
