Mark, I never said reinforcing the alternator path was a bad thing, to the contrary, it can't hurt and in application such as yours, necessary. My point is it is not the OP's issue.Wildergarten wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 9:16 amOf the four Sweptline trucks I've had, ALL FOUR came to me with the alternator-battery loop re-worked. A Google search of the string with the required terms: "1960s+dodge+wiring+alternator+melt" returned nearly a million hits. (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_ ... type=&tbs=) A Google Image search "1960s+dodge=firewall+connector+melt" returned 870,000 (https://www.google.com/search?q=1960s+d ... CA0&uact=5). Go look at the pictures. It's a problem. Best to fix it.

Re: Voltage Gauge Spiking
Better if you would write clearly, with a knowledge of the subject, rather than inventing your own terms to describe something you obviously know nothing about.Wildergarten wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 2:00 pmI'm talking about a wire loop, not a full circuit, effectively an open loop. It goes from the alternator, through the firewall to the ammeter, and then to the relay. The two wires go right past each other with current flowing in opposite directions, hence the application of the term.PwrWgnDrvr wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 9:45 amThere is no such thing as a loop from the alternator to the ammeter and back.
Try reading it for what is intended rather than what you can make of it.
As they say, if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bowlsheet.
Thus your posts are all about 10,000 words long!
You definitely don't mind "debate", as long as everybody bows down to you and worships everything you say, regardless how wrong it may be.
This forum is not about "debate". Its about facts and science. You seem to find it impossible to accept facts, unless you first post them yourself.
