Starter Draw?

How many amps does the starter draw when starting? I got back from NAPA and all
they had were 50A circuit breakers there. Would this be enough to run? I looked in
the haynes and all it said was "up to 50A" which worries me.

Nevermind! I returned the breaker. No one has any higher amp breakers (go figure) unless
I go industrial. That itself sounds expensive

I got a 100 amp at Advance for $30., IIRC.
I just got all 8 of the the coils over plug for my 03 F-150 for $90. shipped from this guy on Ebay, he has a good deal on circuit breakers too.

Advance said they don't carry anything over 50a

No one bothered to look it up in a catalog besides NAPA, but they don't carry any.

The eBay link looks like what I need, but doesn't come for a 2 gauge.

What do you have against a fuse? Why are you even fusing the starter cable anyway?
