Is the positive post on the discharge side or the charging side of the ampmeter? And when hooking up accesories do you go to the ignition switch, or the positve post on the ampmeter? My instructions from classic parts say hook the flasher to the amp meter, but that would let them run when the ignition swith is off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Terry

There is a wiring diagram in it. The on-line manual's page is hard to read. Different accessories connect to different sources: ignition switch, ammeter, fuse box. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 152 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 152 | What I need to hook up are the radio, Heater, and turn signals.
