I used the American Autowire kit but I upgraded all my systems during the rebuild. So now I have a modern blade style fuse box with circuits for electric fans, fuel pump, full gauge package, ac or non-ac sub harness but it also has all the provisions for stock gauges and accessories.
I just copied this out of a different thread so it has more info than you asked for.

Hey all,
I'm looking to upgrade my 8 3/4 for something stronger. I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my 8 3/4 while dumping the clutch on the dragstrip.
I know Strange has a great S60 setup but I like the option of having the removable gear sets.
Speedway Motors has a Fabricated Ford 9" setup...

Second question, if I'm currently running a 295/55-15 drag radial, what would be the equivalent bias size?

During tech inspection the inspector asked if I had an SFI bellhousing. I do not. (I have a 4 speed and twin disc setup)
I thought it wasn't required unless you ran faster than an 11.5 as...
I had the correct washers and spring clips. This is a fairly new build using a kit from Brewers that came with everything so it was together with the correct hardware......although I guess the spring clip wasn't seated all the way otherwise it wouldn't have fallen out.
I took The Beast out for a drive on this sunny spring day. Shifting out of first and into second under moderate acceleration I feel a pop in the shifter followed by the sound of something dragging on the road. I immediately slow down and pull to the shoulder and the car hops a bit and I come to...
So, I'm driving through town to a buddies house in my 2015 RAM when I see police lights behind me. I assume they're going to another scene as I haven't been pulled over in 30 years and I can't think of a thing I was doing wrong. I pull onto a side street to get out of the way and dang it it all...
If you don't care about original but just want a functioning clutch switch, I used this:

I made a small bracket to mount it and it works great and for a lot cheaper than an OE part
