Alternator wiring questions I installed an LT1 from a Caprice cop car into my Datsun 240z and have been having some issues with the alternator, it's a Delco CS144. It is currently wired up with the main output going through an amp-meter into the rest of the Datsun harness and the F line on the SFLP plug is connected to switched +12volts through a 10amp fuse. When I start the car it puts out 13 volts and does not charge the battery. If I hook the S line up to the positive terminal of the battery and start the car it will put out between 14.8 and 15 volts and does charge the battery. If I pull the SFLP plug it doesn't put out anything. When the alternator is working the amp-meter is generally pegged at +60amps whether the S line is hooked up or not.
Questions:
Should I leave the S line hooked up?
Will it over charge the battery this way?
Should I unhook the F line?
What should be done with the L line, if anything?
Should the amp-meter be showing a +60 draw?
Thanks
