(quoted from post at 14:06:40 04/02/14) Thanks, wiring drawings are more to my liking as can't quite read wiring diagrams/schematics yet.
In gratitude for all the help, I offer y'all the following Tip for the Day-"Lazy Susan repurposed for the Lazy Man", found at habitat restore and mounted on old office chair base, looking for I better looking base.

ool! Maybe I can talk you into coming by & tidying up my place, too.
I thought I had the wiring figured out with your help but I still haven't figured out the idiot light.
Trying not to have to remove the dash sheet metal to run a wire for key on hot to the light I figured one of the wires to the idiot light had to be the "key on hot" wire since the light comes on when i turn the key but when i wire it as y'all showed me the idiot light does not go out, tried wiring alt one spade to one side of the idiot light, when that didn't work i wired to the other side of the idiot light, still wouldn't go out.
The new alternator is charging and i have the charge stud wired to alt 2 spade.
The cluster is pulled out laying on the hood, could it be the cluster has to be grounded?
Coud i have fried alt 1 spade when i shorted it while trying to temporally put a jumper wire on it?
With a voltmeter when I check alt one spade to ground I get 14v when engine running and 12 with engine off or key on.
