Well, I have my headlights on relays to take the load off the headlight switch, but I'm not sure how a relay would be wired into the main system. The basic mods I've read about for the electrical is to (1) run a heavy gauge wire with fusible link from the alternator to the starter relay, (2) bypass the amp gauge, and (3) attach fusible links to the main power harness going into the dash area from the engine compartment. I've done #1, but not #2 or #3. How would a relay work for the main power lead? I'd be really interested to hear any ideas you might have on that. Either way, I'm willing to "add" separate wiring runs because I can wrap it so that it looks somewhat factory. But I'm hesitant to cut up my factory harness to add stuff because I'm afraid it will look "hacked up". Kinda anal, I know. On a related note, I think grounding the extra field terminal will work with the Denso alternator. The late model regulator that everyone uses for this swap basically modulates the "ground" at the regulator, requiring two field terminals (power to the alt, ground to the regulator). Our early model regulator modulates the "power" side, and the alternator grounds thru the case. As long as I use the retrofit solid state regulator, I'm thinking I'll be alright. Of course, this is a simplified version of what actually goes on, and I'm no electrical engineer, so I may be headed for trouble with this. Hopefully not..... The main thing now is whether or not it will physically fit on the engine with the stock brackets AND line up correctly for the fan belt. I get back home tomorrow, so I'll be able to do a trial fit on it.
