The MAD article on bypassing the amp and direct wiring the alternator to the battery was used to modify the 74 Duster. The amp meter was converted to a voltmeter by Redline guages. The original alternator wire from the alt to the battery still has battery voltage with the key off as before the conversion. Should this wire be reconnected or eleminated?

If you want the now-converted guage to only read while the key is on you need to select a switched circuit to connect to it, or a relay to connect that circuit.

Thanks for the replies. The problem is the loose original alternator wire hanging in the engine compartment with over 12 volts available at all times.

Why is there a loose wire hanging anywhere? Where did you tie the two ammeter wire together?

When the bypass of the alternator was made, a 10 guage wire was connected between the the alternator and battery. The original regulator wires remained connected to the alternator. The original wire from the battery through the amp meter to the alternator was disconnected at the alternator, this wire still has battery voltage with the key on or off. The ampeter was disconnected and the two wires were spliced this loccation.

Remove the original BLACK heavy wire to the alternator AT THE BULKHEAD.
