Thanks for the respose. I agree, and that is my intent...I realize the need for, and benefit of, the jumper on the Delco solenoid. And I'll also be running a fused/dedicated 8 gauge HOT from the trunk battery to the firewall for both battery charging and power distribution to everything else. I just didn't mention either above.
Please allow me clarify my #1 question/quandry:
With this setup, what exactly should I do with the yellow wire that is currently attached to the R terminal of my Delco solenoid?
