My 57 3600 is nearly ready to drive!

All I have to complete now are a couple of electrical items.

I bought a 100A circuit breaker as recommended on this forum.
But where do I wire it?
Between the battery and ignition, or between the alternator and amp meter?
Somewhere else?

I also obtained the components to build a "Shunt" to protect my amp gauge.
I believe this goes between the alternator and the amp gauge.
Or is it between the amp gauge and load?

If I run Halogen lights, fog lights, and an electric fan should I bypass the amp gauge for some of the heavy loads?

I also have a 30A thermal circuit breaker, should I wire this into my electric fan circuit separately from the 100A main breaker?

I can tune Webers, rebuild almost anything, run machine tools, etc., but electrical is my weak spot.

All help appreciated.
