I've got two similiar posts going but not having much luck getting an answer -If I can get squared away, with an hour or two I can fire the truck up. It's nice today and I need to get it out of my drive and back into a building.

I've read all the posts, faqs, searched - can't get an answer to these two questions.

When swapping over to gauges, from idiot dash, GMC Pauls site directions say to:
Hook power from 12R (full 12v from harness) NEAR the alternator, to terminal #1 on the cluster.... YES/NO?

It also says to hook a wire from #12 on the cluster to "brown/blk on the terminal connector near the battery" - ??? Is this not another 12v from near the fusible links going to the cluster now too? What is this referring to?

If both of these are as I've written, PLLLEEEASSEEE someone let me know, I need to get this thing running today. Thanks all!
