alternator wiring

Wired mine up that way for the regulator and it has been working fine for three years or so now. I ended up just running an 8 guage wire directly from the alternator to the battery and kept the stock wiring as well. This effectively makes the ammeter useless, but since several components inside the cabin pull from this source, I decided to just keep it. I have a separate voltmeter on a small 3 gauge cluster under the dash to keep tabs on the charging system.
