Re: MAD electrical upgrade

No,

The electrical system will work just fine and not over charge the battery due to bypassing the ammeter.

I heard somebody say the downside to the ammeter bypass modification is it throws off the voltage regulator and causes it to "overvolt". Any truth?

I am using MAD’s electrical products and wiring diagrams for trunk mounted battery install w/remote solenoid, two forward power distribution terminals...etc...and I have modified some of his instructions to fit my Plymouth/Mopar needs. Very good tutorial and excellent products. Bypassing/not using the AMP meter in/on the dash is vital to prevent current drop and excess voltage/amperage from burning dash wires and degrading your system.

I've used Mad's electrical wiring system for the last 3 cars I've built. His designs are sound and simplify things quite a bit. The only drawback on a "restoration" is that if you go with Mad's wiring system you won't have "Mopar" designed wiring.... which some purists may find unacceptable. As far as I'm concerned... his designs are easier to understand, safer, and simpler to install (providing you're not using an expensive per-manufactured replacement wiring harness).

Has anybody heard of the MAD electrical upgrade to bypass factory ammeter. (www.madelectrical.com) . They have numerous articles but this one caught my eye. Basically running juice from alternator directly to starter relay instead of through firewall connector and all up through the dash. You fuse the thick red and black wires where factory ammeter used to sit. You still need this loop to feed ignition switch, etc. This loop is also attached to starter relay. They also by pass the fragile firewall connector for these two wires. Supposed to reduce risk of melt down greatly. And of course then you need to install an aftermarket voltmeter in place of the now absent factory ammeter..

MAD isn't just Mopar but this upgrade is specifically for Mopar. They do it on a 79 Dodge truck but it should work on the older stuff too.
