Jack, it was also very nice to see all your work on your Vanagon over the years, mechanical, paint, body, the whole deal; and the events you went to.  Obvious that your VW beast is well-loved.

Very easy, wires were right there... makes it easy to track the voltage, which by the way agrees with:
>>> Alternator 14.39
>>> Battery 13.91  

Front dash install.

Rear Aux Battery Cabinet install.

Always good to know your amps from a hole in the ground :)

Yup

On my old 82 westy I ran a new cable.

And I have a good thick cable ready to go for the syncro . Why don’t I install it? 

Because I keep thinking the engine is coming out soon and I can get to the starter easily and do a good job.

Paralyzed by the notion of perfect over good :-)
