    O.K. Stu Cool,

    I feel like were almost there..

    I agree I have learned alot on this subject so far and we may of helped each other out not knowing that.

    This is the plan...

    1. Amp meter comes out of the line.
    2. # 10 red gauge wire off of the alt will go to distrubition block.
    3. At the distrubition block one #10 will go to the battery
    4. The voltage looping wire will also go to the distrubition block as you stated for better voltage sensing.


    3 more questions...

    1. Could the battery cable on the starter solenoid act as a distrubition lug. If so the voltage could be carried back to the battery via the battery cable??

    2. Where does the volt gauge get wired to and from??

    3. Is there special resistance for the field wire other than a small dash light on the dash that connects to the accessory side of the ignition switch??


    Thanks George
