I may have missed something in your original post. I assumed that you have an after market volt meter. If the voltage gauge is stock, than you will want to hook it up as stock. I am not sure if the aftermarket will work in the stock hookup as the stock gauge reads voltage caused by resistance in the wire. In the stock hookup, the two wires hook to the main feed on either side of the radiator, so the gauge will read the difference in voltage caused by the resistance in the wire.
