I wouldn't really dump the isolator, (it's a good terminal strip, even if
it is bypassed by a combiner) but I did want to know if I would need the
combiner would be necessary to get a full charge to the batteries, if the
BIG Caddy alternator was a one wire alternator. And I still don't know
if the 90 something Cad alternator is 1 or 2 wire.
