Default Looking for something to distribute power from the battery

Currently I have my Pusher fans and twin pump setup running directly off my battery post of my car. This works ok until I remove the bolt that holds it all together, then I have to crush the thing in there as hard as possible because of how many Eyelets are being pushed on the bolt.

Friend suggested I could try a longer battery bolt setup but with being as close as I already am, I would run into the drier and probably see some sparks.

Wife was saying she would like to do a stealth amp box in the rear and I was thinking there is no way I could get another eyelet/loop on the battery for power and I remember someone posted up about a power distribution block before. It was supposed to basically have a small jump off to the side so you could run power from multiple sources if that makes sense.

A quick search at the local auto parts store didn't yield anything and they weren't super helpful either. Does something like this exist or am I mixing stuff up?

If pictures are needed let me know, I could snap some in the next day or two when I get home if someone wants to see what I'm talking about

you NEED a battery post that allows you to add things without removing the post from the battery.

all the autoparts stores have them.

once you do that you could then run a single larger wire off that to a distribution block (commonly found on car audio websites) to all the accessories if there is concern of to many wires at the battery post.

whatever you are doing don't be just removing your battery bolt from the battery and sliding eyelets around it and shoving it back on, that is a super ghetto thing to do, the battery bolt for accessories is only a couple bucks.

Why don't you just use a factory 93-97 junction block? You can't mount it in the same location because LS cars don't have the mounting holes, but it's cheap and exactly what you're looking for.

Thanks guys appreciate it. Will take a look at what I can find. Didn't know the earlier years had the jump point like that, would have figured it was near the fuses. I think they have that mounted where a ground wire runs now?
