Junction Block

[jpurcell]

1963 Sport Fury Convertible, 318, auto trans...

Was having some electrical problems so tore into the wiring. Oh Boy! PO had rewired lots of stuff I am dealing with. My question concerns the Ammeter Black wire (R-6A). The wiring diagram shows a junction box (big black circle) that joins Ammeter Black (R-6A) with Ignition Red (J-1), Light Switch Black (B-1 terminal, not sure wire #... my diagram is cut off), and Fuse Block Red-Tr (Q-3).

This is all under the dash. The PO had spliced the Ignition, Light Switch, and Fuse Block wires together in two different places on the Black R-6A wire instead of using a junction block. I am assuming it is missing, but where would I look? What is the best way to correct? Is there a part number for the right junction block or a good generic replacement? I don't really want to splice the wires, but would that be OK?

Thanks in advance!

I can't speak for 1963, but in later years those wires were spliced together without a juction block. Does it actually state juction block on your wiring diagram?

No, it just has a large black dot which I understand can represent a junction block on wiring diagrams. No problem splicing, just looks ugly! But who's going to look?

Would it be crazy to use a wire nut to connect these wire together? (2 12 gauge and 3 10 gauge). What's the best way?

I have seen terminal blocks that would let you connect safely
