Re: wiring cs alt. with gauges???
The alternator has nothing to do with the factory ammeter they are 2 separate circuits which do not depend on each other for 1 or the other to work.
Below is a diagram for the CS alternator, the regulator plug will be labeled either PLFS or PLIS with either the L terminal needs a resistor or bulb wired in series, Delco recommends any value between 35 ohm, 5 watts and 500 ohm, 1/2 watt. Both a bulb and resistor could be used on the L terminal as long as they ar wired parallel with one another if you have the I terminal it can be wired directly to the ignition switch because it has internal resistance.

Re: wiring cs alt. with gauges???
Ok thanks fixit. I'm still confused? So I can just do the swap like from the chevelle forums and not worry about the gauge. I thought if you have a gauge you don't have a light? If you know of a straight forward diagram with pics would help, can you get me there. Thanks
