question on bulkhead connector bypass

Dave NEO said

In this discussion they basically talk about jumping the starter relay with the alternator stud - my question is: is it obvious which stud on alternator to connect to? - '68 383 with original style alternator. thnx for any comments. Also can you leave amp gauge alone or do you have to disconnect ?

Well you can leave it there but what you are doing with this is bypassing it, and will no longer function.

The big trouble spots in these girls in no particular order are:

The bulkhead connector mostly the big red and big black ammeter wires

The ammeter connections and the meter itself

In rare cases the under-dash welded splice

The headlight switch and connector

The headlight feed throughs through the bulkhead connector

Sometimes the ignition switch connector, and sometimes the switch itself

As Redfish has pointed out many times, on the later cars with the "white" engine harness connector, that should be bypassed.........the only white connector in the engine bay
