"All. &#13;\n  &#13;\nI like having an ammeter in the car over a voltage gauge and am in the process of upgrading my 240z to use the '82 70A alternator with embedded regulator. &#13;\n  &#13;\nEveryone I talk to suggests it is impossible to do this but I am not sure I understand why.  There is nothing in the stock car that requires current over 30A (the rating of the ammeter), heck even a dead battery wont draw more than 30A.   &#13;\n  &#13;\nThe reason to upgrade the alternator is to allow us the ability to supply additional devices such as new headlights and electric fans etc. Referring to the wiring diagram --&gt; http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/wiringdiagrams/72_240z_wiring.pdf  My very simple solution to this is to add a wire from the alternator White/Red wire to a new fuse block to be mounted onto the firewall. This fuse block will have the ability to hold 4 fuses, and 4 relays to power both the electric fans and the new headlights.  Placing this fuse block here allows us to maintain the existing ammeter. &#13;\n  &#13;\nWhat am I doing wrong? &#13;\n  &#13;\nThanks  Jim \n"
