Alternator Upgrade - Electrical

More alternator work. I have the ballast resistor (25 ohm, 25 watt) in parallel with the alt light now, the light is mounted under the lip of the dash near the ignition switch. I also wired up the under-hood emergency light and moved the wiring of the power window circuit to the back of the ammeter like the factory did it. There are a few items to button up. I have to put the two metal plates back on the firewall, inside and out. Otherwise that about does it. I ordered a spare alternator because this one came out of the '49 Cadillac and it has been acting a little flaky until it warms up. Better to have one on hand.
