68 Dart wiring questions

A lot of good info here! But this also leads me to another question I have. There is no ammeter currently as the dash cluster is out. I have attached and taped the red and black ammeter wires together for now but as I understand it the true ‘bypass’ involves more than that
That fully bypasses the ammeter. Some wiring installations try bypassing more than that, such as the feed-through connection on the bulkhead. There are some websites with directions that just drill through the connector and run a wire through that, but I'd recommend something more readily disconnectable, like a bolt run through a grommet with ring terminals on each side.
