thank you. i think i have enough information to run with. i am going to attempt the multi wire arrangement. i just have a follow up:
my car has an ammeter, i don't think it has an idiot light (have not seen it and it does not show up on wiring diagram). currently, the gen regulator BAT terminal feeds a heavy gauge wire through the firewall, through the ammeter, and back to main battery junction terminal.
if i install a multi-wire alternator with a 63 amp variety, can the main BAT terminal off that alternator go through the firewall and through the ammeter with the original wire? or does it have to go directly to main battery junction terminal?
also, it looks like there is a resistor directly outside of the BAT terminal on my existing gen regulator (diagram has little squiggle, and physically can see a little barrel next to regulator). can i move this resistor and use it off of terminal 1 for the 'kick start'? if so, do i just wire from terminal one through resistor and ground it?
great info on the MAD site. they also said that you need resistance on terminal 1 or else car might not shut off!
Cheers,
Scott.
