    Sounds like a plan although 20/32 psi is somewhat low. Still, if you are getting good temps I'd leave it be and simply keep an eye on it. Congrats on getting it working!!

      Finally did the 3G upgrade. I didn't want this one to burn up.
      Used a donor harness and a junkyard donor 3G harness to make it look close to factory installed. 3G harness came from a 2004ish Ford Freestar. Easy to pick in the yard. Charge cable is the exact right length. I shortened the battery cable and used it also. This one has the fusible link made into it, so no fuse needed.

          Extra points for keeping it looking factory. You may be able to eliminate the factory charge wiring entirely. It would be a bit of work since Ford took the long way around, but may be worth it for simplicity's sake.
