So if I cut the blk/yel wire for my switch, I will have in effect an on/off switch that will not damage the alt because I'm denying the field windings the power they need to fire up as well as the power needed to send/receive signals to the ECU? No damage will result if I test this maybe by pulling the blk/yel wire from the 4P connector at the alt?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
