I am curently working on putting together my own wire harness for my 51 1/2 ton chevy. The engine is a 250 with a one wire alternator. After searching and reading almost every post on wiring a one wire alternator...I am confused.
Previous posts give two options to wire a single wire alt.
1. Take a wire from the alt terminal and connect it to the wire on the "B" terminal on the old regulator. The old regulator gets thrown away and the remainig wires get cut. This leaves the (correct me if I am wrong) alternator connected to the "b" terminal on the ignition switch.
2. Take a wire and connect the alt terminal to one of the posts of the amp meter and take another wire to connect from the second amp meter post to the starter.
Are these both connections correct and will these achieve the same goal while keeping the amp meter working?
Thank you, this is my first time ever working on electircal and I just want to get things right.
