The truck is packed up with tables, chairs
and probably too much to eat. We're headed
out to the ol' homestead in Airplane City.
Be back on line Saturday.

In fact, ANY of the 1N54xx series is fine.
5400's may be harder to find than say,
a 1N5406.

Yes . . . just tie the two busses
together by-the-bolts with a short
pieces of wire. #16 would be okay;
you really won't be tying much load
onto the new bus.

Recall that except for voltage drop
considerations, 22AWG under Tefzel
doesn't get into trouble at 20A.
16AWG is 4x the cross section of 22AWG.
It would be quite sufficient over the
distance cited.

Z-11 shows the S wire of the Ford regulator tied in to the A terminal. Our
Hartzell alternator has a dedicated Sta terminal so I'm guessing that the S
terminal of the regulator should go to the Sta terminal on the alternator
instead of being tied into the alternator switch going to the A terminal?
Can anyone please confirm if this makes sense or not?

Nope, dont do that. The Ford regulator doesnt use the stator terminal. PlanePowers
regulator does.
