Jerry, thanks so much for the info!! That was exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping to get some guidance from someone with experience, rather then another link to a Delco manual.
I just have a few more quick questions. I am doing a frame off resto, so I do not have any other curcuits hooked up. No lights, radio, nothing. Just basic wires to run the motor. Should I wait to adjust the current output until I get some of that hooked up to create a "load," or is there some other way to simulate the load? I have all my electrical stuff in storage right now, I would have to dig it all out to hook it all up, so if there is another way to do it that may be the way to go.
As far as the resistor, I am guessing that I do not need it to adjust the voltage output. It is a brand new optima battery that has only run the motor for about 20 mins total. However, if you really do recommend that I use the head lights as a resistor, I will go dig those out of the storage unit.
Thanks again for the info, and I will try and get this thing adjusted in the next few days!
Jake
