It is necessary to have an amp shunt to measure amperage from the alternator. I ran a line from the GEA 24 to the amp shunt. Also I placed a current limiter in line in the even the alternator wire becomes loose. This will allow me to block the current flow through the engine compartment. I wired the oil temp monitor and tach monitors to the GEA 24. Also the fuel pressure, oil pressure and manifold pressure transducers are attached to the left firewall. I wired them to the GEA 24.
