I enjoyed reading about the Ferrari -- something I'm sure I've never seen. And your point was easy to understand.

One item I think you might agree with me about is being a bit skeptical over just anyone adding an ammeter: Surely you have seen your quota of enthusiasts' automotive wiring, and I have observed enough shortfalls in the mechanical engineering part of wiring over the years to wonder at someone without our experience undertaking the re-routing of battery, load, and charging currents away from the engine, and into the passenger compartment.



When I did it, just temporarily, I was glad to see it put back after the experiment was over. One mistake I made, was leaving the firewall grommet open after removing the 8-ga. wiring. A week or so later I had to evict a new family.
