1970 Duster project in Sweden

Thanks guys for all that useful information! I'm looking forward to go over everything once the engine is out. Moparmat, I really like that installation. It's all in the little details. Have a great weekend
Thank you sir. Heres something else thats all in the details. If you notice theres someting glued to the back of the gage with a grey adhesive, and red and black wires. Thats a 12V red LED. I drilled a #50 drill (tiny hole) to the left of the discharge side of the gage, and glued the LED from the back. My alternator is a mini denso 50A for small block chevy. I made my own brackets to install it. The denso has a plug on its internal regulator for 2 wires, an ign hot feed to excite it, and a discharge light. So on startup the red light will light up until the engine starts, then go out when alternator starts outputting unless theres a charging fault, then it will light up.

Being LEDs are polarity sensitive, the positive led wire feeds the light from the gage end, and the ground wire goes to the alternator. The v reg in the denso alternator when not outputting or when it fails shunts to ground turning the light on. When its outputting the regulator electrically disconnects the ground for the indicator light to turn it off.
