Powermaster 8172 alternator

Kim I don't like that method, because with the battery killed, YOU STILL HAVE a fairly large "welding cable" (sparking and arcing) that is live from one end to' to other. Crackedback takes one approach, mine is to use a "4 post" switch, which nowadays are VERY available. What you do is, if you have EFI, but the small posts in series with your pump relay. If you run a carb, use those terminals to kill a relay feeding the ignition. What that switch is off, wired that way, ALL power is "in the trunk."

On a side note..........you need a MUCH larger charging wire for a "one wire" system. Perhaps at least no6 and better no4
I have a 130 amp powermaster one wire on my 68 fastback, underneath the motor plate, where the stock fuel pump used to be. I have a # 10 wire to the stock mopar battery connection on the starter relay, which is near where the heater motor used to be. It works fine. #2 welding cable from trunk on same post. battery stays charged, doesn`t run down if left for a few weeks, always around 14.2 on the hand held. starts the 505 even when hot. so far so good.
