Hi....the engine not shutting off problem seems to be cleared up. i removed all the wiriing from the gage cluster and from the iginition switch and replaced some questionable wires, also it appears that i had one wire on the amm meter that was hooked to the wrong position on the ignition switch.
answers to questions asked ...I have a foot starter. I do have a wiriing diagram. I used a test light to identifiy hot wires. I used a multi meter to make sure my iginition switch was working properly. It is working as it should.
I was not sure how to bypass the ammeter but it does not seem to work anyways. So I hooked it up as described below.
Here is how I have the wiriing hooked up now.
On the ammeter total of 5 wires, two on the D side of the ammeter and 3 on the C side of the ammeter.
On the D side = 1 wire to iginition switch battery posotion
On the D side = 1 wire to exciter wire on alternator
On the C side = 1 wire to starter
On the C side =1 wire to light switch
On the C side = 1 wire to voltage regular on the drivers side firewall
The ignition switch is wired as follows..
Battery position = 2 wires,one to ammeter C side and other is a fused wire to radio.
Iginition position = 2 wires, one to junction block (coil) on firewall,passenger side, and another fused wire to cigar lighter.
Accessory position = 4 wires,radio memory,electric wipers,directional flasher and after market gages.
I hpoe all this is clear enough to understand..............thanks
