Eric, As you can see from the article from Madelectrical the problems are real however you have options as to how you want to avoid a problem. I don't see a reason to modify the bulkhead connectors unless they have been damaged by over heating as shown in the article. I ran a #10 wire from the alternator to the starter relay and installed the fusable link in the wire per the article. I also disconnected the wires from the ampmeter and joined them together like in the article. I did not run larger wires through the bulkhead connector. The way I see it I am now supplying power to the dash and associated circuits throgh 2 wires instead of one and allowing the alternator to charge the battey by way of the #10 wire to the starter relay without sending charging current through the bulkhead connector. The only thing I may have done different is to use a fuse instead of a fusable link. I would really be interested in any comments from others who have changed the alternator wiring. Dennis C.
