72 Demon now underway
Thanks for pointing me to your prior post; nice job on that electrical thread. My Chall above has much the same configuration, only difference is I used a Painless battery disconnect relay at trunk mounted battery and another master disconnect (a 200 amp Marinco manual disconnect) under the dash, effectively isolating the 1/0 power run at either the battery or prior to fuse block and forward harness.
The ammeter elimination is critical to all old Mopars, glad you put on the spotlight. Even in a car with a reworked amp gauge and new harness like my Chall I wouldn't risk it. Besides breaking the two sides of the ammeter circuit and adding a second fusible link to the old alternator branch effectively gives you another safety valve.
I'll look forward to following your project too. These 408s (ours is .040 over and almost a "413") are going to rock. We put in the COMP Mutha Thumpr 287TH7 which with 833 and RHS heads, even 1x4bbl should get it out of the hole..dayathink?
