will post here, also posted in on the group chat, may get other feedback as well here:

so you are putting on an 6v alternator vs the stock 6v generator ?? there is only 1 wire from either, they are wired the same, and it is 14g wire from generator/alternator to the ammeter.

i have the factory 6v generator and a friend has a 6v alternator. both installed in factory location and use factory wiring, same configuration, nothing special.

ammeter measures amps through it. so power has to go through the alternator in out

if you have the factory wiring harness, you just connect the wire that went to the generator to the alternator and done.

If you altered the wiring, then you will need to go back to factory routing or alter the solution. Do you have the factory wiring diagram ?? if not let me know i have the simple routing diagram.

I have an extra Mongomery Words NORS wiring harness if you need. PM me if interetsed.
