  5. BE aware those older convertor chargers are known to be battery boilers if left on too long they will destroy the battery by over charging how old is that battery i have one deep cycle group 24 can go 5 or six days if i dont use the furnece two or three nights of hard furnece runing draws hard on the battery about two days is all i charge myn the new convertors can be left pluged in all time you must clean all that with water and a lot of baking soda if you dont want a lot of perment damage under hood have some one check that battery for starters battery is aways the weakest link in the system some of the fuel filters are up on the frame by the right rear tires on the carb pickup anyway was on 1987 or maybe under hood

  13. TerrieO if the current breaker is a 15 15 that means it is a 15 amp breaker four use on 14 gauge wire you do not use a 20 amp brea ker on 14 gauge wire a twenty amp breaker is ok on 12 guage which is heaver 14 wire should only have no more than 15 amp breaker and if i rember correcty a bryant panel can use cuttler hammer breakers i recomnd you take the breaker with you too match it up using too heavy breaker can cause a fire brd may be ok but 15 needs to be 15 why would it be ok to use a heaver 20 amp that would not be good at all fire hazerd
