montego8 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Posted December 26, 2011 I have a GM style alternator in my 50 dodge and want to use the original gauge. I was thinking I could take the large wire from the alternator ,the one that normally goes to the positive post of the battery, and route it through the amp gauge and then back to the positive post. What do you think! From the original wiring diagram it looks like how the generator was wired. Thanks Quote
Adam H P15 D30 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 Yup, that's pretty much how I did my 49 Dodge. What shape is your wiring in??? VERY IMPORTANT!!! Quote
montego8 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 I'm rewiring everything. The wire to and from the amp gauge, I assume ,should be #10 wire, ya think? Quote
Adam H P15 D30 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 I used #8, but #10 should be ok. How many amps is your alternator? Quote
