Battery in Trunk wiring completed, now no power at all

Everything inside the car is pretty much fed from the alternator black wire running to the ammeter.

If the red and back ammeter wires are not connected, it won't power up the fuse box, headlights, etc.

Right or wrong, NHRA techs only cares that the car shuts off... Read some of the post because the schematic isn't the one that many use to meet the letter of the rule. The schematic passes tech every day at NHRA tracks across the country.

Argue amongst yourselves as to what the rules say. :)
