Re: alternator suggestions?

Thanks to everyone for all the great advice and help with everything! I made sure that all my straps for properly grounded, and rechecked the tests to make sure it wasn't a bad wire or something wired incorrectly. Again not charging enough at idle so I ended up buying an alternator through summit. First off the pulley on the new alternator was much smaller than the one that came with the March serpentine pulley kit so that made a different in the spinning speed at idle but either way, the battery is charging at idle once again. It's a one wire alternator, but just a quick question, where is the best place to hook up the Volt meter for the cab? Do I use any ign switched 12v source or is there a better spot? Thanks again, you guys are all really the best!
