FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your 1974 Camaro
are protected from short circuits by a combi­
nation of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible
thermal
linkS in the wiring itself. This greatly
reduces the hazard of electrically caused fires
in the automobile. The fuse junction block
is
located under the left side of the instrument
panel.
SPARK PLUGS
The
following spark plugs are recommended for Camaro engines.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER:
The head lamp circuit s are protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your wiring circuits checked immediately.
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an
In-line fuse holder running from junction block to Air Conditioning relay.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above.
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
