So I'm rewiring my 57 GMC 1/2 ton and behold.
Start solenoid (battery) -- to -- discharge side of voltmeter.
Alternator primary -- to -- charge side of voltmeter.
Ignition switch (battery terminal) -- to -- charge side of voltmeter.
All 10 guage red primary wire with battery amperage running through one tiny
little voltmeter in a steel dash in the cab waiting to short out and fry
right before my eyes (or my 15 year old son's, see its his truck I just do
all the mechanical work on it).
THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!!! Any advice appreciated to get those amps
outside of the cab where they belong. Thanks. David
