[T3] Engine compartment needs a separate power feed?

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

<x-charset ISO-8859-1>A while back my computerized COIL died (not points, coil!) again.  It had
one lead going to the stock coil for triggering, one lead to ground and one
lead to +12V.  Now, I had the +12V lead connected directly to my alternator
because that line fed directly to the battery.

I'm wondering if maybe this isn't a good idea?  Should I leave the
alternator->battery feed line alone and route a separate power line from the
battery to my engine compartment to feed accessories?
