Thanks.

I don't have a way to monitor volts right now, the amp gauge is disabled. I'm going to have a separate gauge installed that gives me a real time digital readout, as well as a battery meter that tells me what percentage the battery is at in real time as well. I'm just trying to figure out where to put it that won't ruin the aesthetics of the dash, but still be visible.

Here the are pictures I could get of the Alternator installed, it's kind of a tight space so I hope they are good enough to show it all properly.

Our Moderator should be able to move it, I think he mention that this thread should move way back.
