1 wire alternator wiring...

[mikracer]

I recently purchased a 58 Apache fleetside and I was going through some of the wiring under the dash to clean up the prior owners "work". It was down right scary, so I started cleaning up more and more until I got to the 1 wire alternator.

I traced the wire into the cab and up behind the dash. From there, it was hard to follow, but I eventually found that it led straight to the ammeter gauge. The other side of the gauge led to the +12 side of the starter. So the battery is being charged after being run through the ammeter gauge. Just wondering if this is the proper way to run the wiring.
