Anyone wired this up yet?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in the process of installing a new (new to me, anyway) V-8 in my truck. I am using a serpentine setup, with an internally regulated alt. I have read all the posts I can find on bypassing the external regulator and that all makes sense. BUT....in every post I can find, it tells you that you have to leave the wires connected that go to the idiot light in order for it to work properly.

I am going to be using all aftermarket gauges (AutoMeter Pro-Comp series) in my dash and doing away with the idiot light stuff.

So how do you wire up the internally regulated alt. to work with no idiot light and no factory gauge?

Surely someone has done this. Any information you can offer will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. (pics would be nice, also.)
