I am attempting to rewire my '33 Master. A new loom was installed some time in its history but I think it was done incorectly. In addition I am installing a turn signal system so it is almost like starting over. The Delco light switch seems to be the local attraction for most of the wire terminals. It has a bimetalic circut braker that is not being utilized. What I need to know is the purpose of the circuit breaker. If it is to interrupt overcurrent from the generator to the battery then I can wire it that way. If it is to interrupt a short circut in any of the users of elecricity I can wire it as such. I am also putting in a fuse panel to prevent fires under the dash such as when I had my original '33 in about 1957. Any and all help with the purpose of the circuit breaker would be appreciated. Gene.

The first Chevrolet to have a head light switch with a circuit breaker was the 1948. Prior to that a fuse was used and it was located in a few different locations through the years.

In general the FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER are installed to protect the wiring.
