Re: 68 C10 Yellow wire from firewall to starter/coil.

Here's the same diagram with all you need to charge the battery and supply the system with amperage. The advantage of this wiring is that the alternator can feed the circuits without going through the battery as you have it wired. It will also allow the battery gauge to work whereas if you wire the alternator output directly to the battery positive post it bypasses the sensing system for the battery gauge and it won't work.
