    Cant read the wiring diagram, should be simple right??

    My contribution to all cucv owners

    I'm glad to be able to return the favor of info.....here it is. There was a post a while back I found yesterday about non isolated ground alts on the driver side. The thread indicated that a 74 cadillac alt was 78 amp and would work/fit into desired spot. Only half right. The cadillac...
