I have always said I will share the good and the bad. Restoring vehicles is not as glamorous as they show on TV.

You can even use the same ground point on the body but use separte lines for each circuit to the ground point.. It seems like you can ground them together but you can't.
Diode in the alt circuit is shut down the elecrtic out of the alterntor so the engine will not run after shutting off the key..

Thanks, The only thing wrong with the gauges is I had a couple wires I had to swap around when I made the harnesses. I guess I was color blind, since they are color coded.

That's some good info on the grounds. Mine are all dedicated on their own circuit.

I fit the fenders before and you would think it would be a snap to put them back on. I was wrong. The passenger side took me a while, and I'm still not happy. The drivers went on fairly easy.

I oiled the repop latch and it's working now on the the drivers door.
