I think what you've found is an issue that was present in some CR Cobra wiring harnesses. I say "some" because I don't know if all CR wiring harnesses were the same. I'm working from memory for a build that I did in the mid-90's, but I do recall adding a larger gauge wire between the alternator and the circuit breaker, and then another wire between circuit breaker and the fuse block to carry the amperage to where it is consumed. The wiring harness as delivered with my kit by CR had a single, too small wire to carry the alternator produced amperage under heavy load conditions like when the cooling fan energized.
