This is in regards to a '66...

I received a one wire Powermaster alternator today. Instructions say I can remove the regulator altogether. The only wire I need to attach is the lead to the existing relay switch.

Problem is it leaves a yellow wire to the gauge wiring harness without anything to attach to. I believe this is for the Amp meter gauge. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Since the alternator is self regulating, I'm assuming I can attach it directly to the relay switch - the same location where I attach the lead to.

If someone out there can confirm this, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
-Chuck

I remember seeing a thread on this several months ago.
It's so easy I forgot it.

--I'll have time to search it tomorrow, I think I remember who posted the answer.

i think you just leave that wire loose. i dont think hooking it up to your relay switch will allow your gauge to work
