For the big 3

In order to do the big 3 wires in the engine, is it necessary to redo the stock wiring or can you just add the battery to alternator wire on top of the stock? Basically, can someone give me directions on what to do so I don't screw my car up.




It can never be too fast nor hit too hard!!!!

gieldamj I'm not sure if its right but the + on alt is the 8 awg with the rubber boot covering it and I grounded mine using one of the long bolts keeping the thing together. Not sure if its right but i did drive about 40 Highway miles with like that and I am not cussing. Did not see much of a difference on system but the volts drop faster yet the go back up faster too. Go figure...

the alt positive connection is easy to find..it's the only wire on there...

for the ground..just use the mounting bolt for the alt, ran to the chassis.
