.make sure the original alt output wire in the harness is disconnected from the alt.
Is there ANYTHING else that needs to be disconnected to do this mod? Under dash, at start relay, etc... I am running a stock replacement alternator (65 amp) that is the externally regulated 3 wire. Thanks for your help!!

It's Nacho's parallel bypass. I bought a bunch of spools of stranded wire of different gauges/different colors of insulation then set the harness (65 dart) on the floor & made a new harness next to it starting from scratch one wire at a time. I'd add/solder in 1 wire/circuit then take that wire out of the old harness till the new one took shape & the old one dissappeared 1 wire at a time. NAPA brass terminals 725145 female 725147 male. this gave me the same shape on the harness routing & would for sure be cheaper than a Y1 item. Also I went 1 gauge larger (smaller #) on most of the wires (some dont need to be larger). Take pics & LABEL where each wire goes. Just me I like the ammeter & yes all connections need to be cleaned/checked & I relay all addons to the alt side rather than to the batt & I strive to keep the ammeter needle close to 12 o'clock.
