    Wiring an alternator

    12v @ key on. The wire doesn't go to the gauge itself, it goes to a light bulb if you aren't using a resistor. If using a light bulb, the other side of the bulb goes to 12v @ key on.

    Wiring an alternator

    The gauge in my cluster just runs off the power for the rest of the gauges.

    Wiring an alternator

The brown wire goes to the 'charge' bulb typically, but a 10-ohm, 25w...

    Tach filter/erratic/unresponsive/etc.

    It's a combination of the resistor "chip" and a capacitor. I never really fiddled with this after putting the LeMans dash in mine.

    Cost to build thoughts... 12/10 bolt swap, 8.8/9" swap

    I'm looking at this just to get an idea on price range and rough cost for doing each, but unsure of other added things.

    What did U do to your G-body today??

    Mercury Switch

    Yes, they are where the light is. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the alternator and letting it sit. Do you have any other electronics in the car? Those are the only 2 things that come to mind on a stock car.

    What did U do to your G-body today??

    I had this happen once, surprised the car didn't burn down, I didn't even know it was laid out like it was at first. On the other hand I didn't use fusible links, I still need to put those in before I burn my baby to the ground :(
