Hello Everyone, I have a 1970 Roadrunner, 440, Powermaster 95 amp 1-Wire and was installing a MSD Digital 6 this weekend and the factory alternator wire (not used) grounded out on the car and now I have no power inside the car. I've traced it back to the factory alternator wire that connects to the "P" terminal on the bulkhead and ends up on the ammeter. Does anyone know what it could have shorted out ? I replaced the starter relay thinking it was that and also pulled the fusible link wire off the bulkhead and stuck a meter on the terminal and it still shows 12 volts. From everything I'm reading it sounds like the fusible link but if it was bad I'm assuming it wouldnt show 12v correct ?? I plan on digging into it this weekend but was hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. A buddy of mine looked under the dash really quick tonight and didn't see any burnt wires behind the ammeter also. I plan on replacing the factory fusible link with a 10 guage link this weekend and also bypassing the ammeter. I have attached a picture of the wire that grounded.
