I've converted my alternator to one one wire,and I changed out my alternator gauge with a voltage gauge from a 1985 truck,would this diagram be fitting for running the wires from the alternater to the gauge then to the fuse box and ignition
There's two differences I can think of.Ok I think I'm going to take my conversion off my alternator and just run the factory regulator and go back to the factory wiring specs,the only thing is my alternator is from a 1985 dodge d150,not sure if there's a difference to the 1968
If its a VOLT meter it can not be wired into the battery feed.alternator gauge with a voltage gauge from a 1985 truck
LOL. I drove an '87 Dodge masons dump at work for more than two years and couldn't tell you for the life of me what type of gage it had and I do remember looking at it once in while when raising it. It was rusty and would sometimes pop out of 3rd but was great to drive.^^LOL^^ I may have screwed THAT up. So far as the alternator output difference, there were all sorts of output variances, from 30A or so to 60 or so. The larger output ones are what are hard on your wiring/ bulkhead connector, as in the article.
If the guage you have added is a Voltage guage then tie the two wires from the old Amp guage together and tie them to the + side of Volt guage.I changed out my alternator gauge with a voltage gauge from a 1985 truck,

Tie the - side of the volt guage to ground. BE SURE the "Volt" guage is really a volt guage.
Good point, thanks for the clarification.The two old ammeter wires are always "hot
