I'm trying to do some archaeology on my rig post to engine swaps.
When the smoke clear, under the hood, near the 200 amp alternator (which is not directly connected to the battery with a large cable) they attached the white/blue stripe wire to a new fusible link like it supplies 12v to the cab.
But, looking at the wiring diagram, it looks like that blue white was originally coming from the ammeter to the alternator. I've got new gauges now, no ammeter.
The wiring diagram shows a black/white stripe wire going from the battery through the fusible link to a white wire to the ammeter. The fusible link is long gone and I can't find that white wire.
One of my problems is that my rig is a 66 and I'm always using slightly later model wiring diagrams.
My question is - on a 66, where was the fusible link and in which wiring bundle did the white wire travel - in the same bundle as the white/blue stripe? And is there any need to connect the white with blue stripe up to anything in the cab? Or just terminate it safely. I've just connected the two ends together where the ammeter used to be.
Thanks, Peter
