Good point. The voltage coming right off the alternator is going to be the highest in the (dynamic) system. Moreover, it is "dirty", that is ahead of the noise suppressor and possibly subject to spikes. Ignition should be tapped well downstream of the alternator - I run mine from the main buss bar thru a toggle and then an oil pressure switch.
