Thanks for the reply's.
I was told the Painless alt shutoff is not necessary if you run the alternator charge cable back to the battery side of the cutoff switch, true or false?
I also read that you can kill your alternator even with the painless kill switch when you push the cutoff switch off with the car running.......
Such a simple thing and the more you read the more it seems to get complicated!

False

False

You have to have the 74102 switch or something similar to interupt the field on the alternator ( hence the double pole switch on the caspers diagram ). Only way it can be done without getting crazy with relays.

The only thing i do not care for with the Caspers set up is the elimination of the voltage warning light in the dash.
When running multiple belts as i am that can come in handy in an overcharging situation or undercharging (belt flying off/breaking).

Im not 100% positive but have you talked to them -- Im guessing that you can still run the warning light just need to do a little more wiring than what they show.

Do you have to have the extra switch for an 11.50s and SLOWER car?
