I do believe it is a stock alternator, the only thing I did was the by pass and new ignition switch, which didn't shut the car off. Just so I am sure of things, red wire black wire from ammeter spliced, soldered and sealed then spliced to 10 gauge wire, ran through the fire wall, then come together connecting to a 16 gauge fusible link, then connected to starter relay, then a 10 gauge wire from battery stud on alternator to 14 gauge fusible link connected to starter relay, did I miss something? If I pull the bypass wire from the starter relay and the pos. bat terminal she shuts off, and she starts right up and runs smoothly, I am sure either I missed something or I caused a short some where.
