Thanks RAD for posting the factory wiring diagram and your observations about the details of upgrading the wiring to match a larger alternator. This has been an interesting thread with some great ideas. I am including a link with some info about automotive wiring, in particular discussing the importance of a good alternator ground.

Thanks for that wiring links, too. He makes a lot of good points. (i.e., using relays to power starter solenoids, instead of directly from Ign switch; properly wiring the headlight circuit so power does not go through the stalk-dimmer; and proper grounding)
