I have a project that I am nearing completetion that uses a GM 305 for a power plant. The donor come from a 1973 pickup (not orig). I kept the engine wiring harness (clean and uncut) to build the new one from. Last night I strip'd it out and began to wire it up. Two question came up that I haven't quite figured out. 1. The amp meter, I do not recall if the donnor had a light or gage, but I do not see how they are reading the current. The batt goes directly to the alt (bout 20" 10g wire). Could they have used the wire as the shunt and connected a gage accross it? I guess I should install a second wire from the batt as my afrmrkt gage has an internal shunt??? 2. To make the charging system work I will have to connect one of the terminals to ing side of the switch. I looked through the gallery for wiring dia's. I have found one uses a simple light and the other a diode. I see the need for the diode, prevent feed back, but wonder if you need the resistamce of the bulb to excite the alt????
