Should my. Autometer volt meter gauge be hooked directly to my battery, the charging post on the back of the alternator, or at the ignition switch acc. connection?

Ignition switch accessory post. That way it will turn off when the key is off.

Update.

Quality belt (important).
Properly adjusted.
And all you hear is a slight chirp when cranking it.
Once started you "cannot" make the belt squeal now.
One thing that helped was I hit up eBay for a nice heavy duty alternator pulley. It was even sort of rough where the belt makes contact.

No need for double pulleys/ belts.

Very pleased. Super good charging.

Fans spin faster at idle, lights are brighter at idle, etc...
And I had no issues with any of these items they are just noticeably improved.

For some reason the eb turns over faster too. Fired up quicker as well.
I think some of that "removed" stock wiring was hurting me and I didn't know it.

Anyway,
Very happy.
Highly recommended.

Cheap, powerful upgrade. Well worth your time.

Hope your belt squeal disappearing is permanent. Your battery is fully charged now...if you drain your battery almost completely (like winching, left the lights on, etc) my guess is you'll get squeal as the alternator is putting out almost full amperage. I had to go dual pulley and finally gave up and went serp. I would also blow 140 amp circuit breaker when winching long and hard until I bumped up to 165amp breaker.

Glad you got it working properly...hopefully w/o squeal when battery is discharged... just mentioned this in case it pops up...

Thank you for the Heads up, Hoss!
