Good. Not to make this thread go on forever but, I was trying to keep the description of my setup simple. I actually have a voltmeter installed now so, I can tell when something goes awry. In fact, it was having the voltmeter that called my attention to the fact that the alt doesn't start charging, with the one-wire setup, until the revs are brought up high. I don't always remember to do that with the little jobs I've been puttering around with. I don't need to worry about that with the three-wire setup - that's why I'm going down this road (in addition to wanting the drain protection). I picked up the diode from Radio Shack today. It's tiny. What would be your recommendation for mounting it - just solder it in-line and tape and do a heat-shrink tube over the splice? The reason I go for heavier than needed wire is, mechanically, it'll withstand some knocking. Thanks again for your time.
