Looking through both the FSM and the Classic Car Wiring diagrams, the welded splice off the alternator feed is made on the cab side of the bulkhead connector. On the DodgeCharger.com forum thread, it looks like user PocketThunder's Charger is the same way; the welded splice is on the inside of the vehicle. If I'm reading his posts correctly, he cut and capped the original alternator feed wire on the engine side of the firewall, where it would have gone INTO the bulkhead connector. He also capped off the other side of the original feed inside the car under the dash where come OFF the bulkhead connector. He left the other end of this wire ON the amp gauge where it was always connected. Along with it is his new Alternator wire to the amp gauge, both of those on the same post. If I see this correctly, in this way, he has power to his key switch, light switch, and fuse box, because the new alternator wire is now connected to whats left of the old alternator wire on the "black wire" post of the amp gauge. Am I seeing that correctly? Is that a good idea if the original alternator wire bulkhead connectors are not safe to leave in place?

On your diagrams, Mattax, I'm guessing that the FL on the alternator side that I see there are for instances when something screws up with the alternator, such as with the "fried harness wires. Why??" thead??
