Before I go further - Need some major help.

No fusible link? This is getting scary, I'd start comparing the factory wiring diagram with what you actually have to see what else has been done before connecting the battery. One question, was the battery connected and the car running when you got it or did you get it all disconnected? I don't remember which bulkhead terminal has the fusible link but I'd check there first and start backtracking. The PO may have also done the direct to alternator modification too, the mad electrical site has that mod too.

I've been thinking of getting his newstuff kit ( http://www.madelectrical.com/newstuff/ ) for my Hemi swap to take care of some issues with having the 140a alternator and the original ammeter.
