Texasdoc,

By the way, there is another cable that I would recommend that you install that is not indicated on the 2G circuit diagram. You will notice that one side of the diodes are indicated as going to ground inside the alternator. Normally, the mechanical attachment of the alternator case to the engine block is sufficient to complete the circuit to the battery. However, I would connect a ground strap from the ground terminal on the alternator to the engine block ground attachment point as a means to insure that your installation is electrically complete. I realize that this is a bit of a belts and suspenders approach but I would be more comfortable if you did so.

Regards,

John
