'66 Toronado Help needed with a Circuit Breaker that mounts on blower relay

Hi All
I'm new to this site though not new to 1966 Toronado ownership! I have owned my '66 Deluxe since 1984!!!! Anyway I am getting things that were done half assed years ago corrected NOW. One of them is a circuit breaker that is mounted with the blower relay. This is the not so common one with the LONG bracket coming off of it with 2 mounting holes. So here's my question .... On the back of the stock Alternator the BAT wire I am 99% sure ran to this circuit breaker then from there to the power "junction' Is this correct??? If not what and where does this circuit breaker go to and where does the BAT wire go to?? I have found conflicting into on this. I also see some sources list it as a 60 AMP CB while others say it uses a 30 AMP CB. Any help would be GREAT!!!! Thanks kindly. SIde note mine is Tropic Turquoise. manual A/C, Flairstat, corner lamps, deluxe interior, power 6 way seat, trunk, cruise, antenna and locks. I think Im only missing rear defog, passenger recliner, and headrests. and Comfortron to have ALL options.

Red wire from alternator post goes to circuit breaker with the rubber cover over it. This is the one that isn't bolted to the junction block and has the long mount with the two holes. That would be the circuit breaker for the "HI" setting on the HVAC blower motor. The wire from the other side of the circuit breaker goes straight to the "hi" blower relay and it has it's own connector on that relay (relay has two connectors). I'm not 100% sure if there are differences here on a Comfortron system as this is for a Custom Air Conditioner system but I think they share these same components.

The other circuit breaker with bracket connected to the junction block, is the circuit breaker for the power windows/power seats. I'll see if I can find the amperage ratings of all those CBs (probably 30A if I was to guess).

Curious why you keep referring to the blower relay as a "reply"? Also, see the last page in this discussion where we figured out what was wrong with our good friend Bob's 1967 Toronado: https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...-185568/page2/

"HI" blower relay, PN 393025 should be a 30A. I believe this is the one you're referring to.

YES That is the one and the one (GM 393025 one shown) that thankfully I found on eBay a few years ago for under $40.

Im sorry for my incorrect spelling of RELAY I just changed the title and in the post. I posted that shortly after I woke up, I guess my brain wasn't awake yet AND I didn't proof-read my post, stupid me. A guess a "Senior Moment" if you will! THANKS also for the info on WHERE the blower relay and circuit breaker wire goes! You know years ago something happened and the blower was going on and off and I remember that the CB with the long arm/2 holes was smoking and top of it sort of melted. I also realized recently after getting it back on the road that the blower Relay is not wired properly. That is why I figured that I must have rigged up something when I was much younger and "Winged" a lot of repairs just to had a fast and TEMP fix. I guess my winged/rigged fix wasn't that bad as blower still works on all speeds and the car hasn't burned to the ground! LOL BUT I will rewire it properly now that I have both the proper NOS CB and a new Relay AND the desire to "Do it right" ! MUCH appreciated! GOD BLESS Side Note ........ I am ALSO a 1966 Model ; )
