Hi again. Figure I would start a new post instead of hijacking my other one. My truck is a 1959 Apache: in the middle of installing a new complete wiring harness, 60A one wire alternator. While at a local SoCal speed shop, the guy behind the counter said it would be a good idea to install a 12ga shunt between the Ammeter Posts to tame the potential current accross the Ammeter. I'm not going to run a ton of accessories other than a heater and electric wipers. Do I need this shunt? I was told the alternator will only put out what the battery requires to charge and what is required to run the accessories. If I'm not running a bunch of accessories am I in jeopardy of pegging or ultimately damaging the Ammeter?
