it sure was chuck. It rings a bell that I was using 14-16 guage wire with
it. I can't believe you can't find one anywhere....what I have isn't like a
distribution block, it's just a simple 2 post block. I supplied the main
power to one side, then ran all of my accessories off the other. Not that
this is the best way to do it, but a pretty big wire nut would work also.
hmmmm
