U run the red power wire from your battery in the back to the kill switch then to the starter. Ground the black to the body. Up front you take the ground that was on the batery up there and ground it to the chassis. Take the pos wire that was on the battery up front and remove it. then remove the wire thats from your alternator to the junc block and remove that. and run a wire from the alt to the battery in the rear. I hope this helps[sm=smiley20.gif]

find the alternator wire that is attached on the hot side of the starter solenoid. this is the wire that is charging the battery. remove it from the solenoid and then extend it to the back of the car and connect it to the same post that the postive cable from the battery is hooked to on the shutoff switch. this way the alternator will charge the battery properly but cannot make the engine run on once the shutoff switch is in the OFF position. from the other terminal on the switch, run the heavy cable back to the hot side of the starter solenoid switch where the postive cable used to be attached. connect the battery ground to a clean metal connection on the chassis in the back and use the old negative cable to make a new ground connection from the chassis to the engine block.

hmm...well i looked at the alt...there is ONE wire that comes off of it and goes to the fuse box. so i just laid my wires out form the trunk to the fuse box....1/0 form the switch ot the fuse box, stock wire from the fuse box to the starter. i was going to just use a new 2 guage wire form the alt to the switch BUT, where the alt wire goes to the fuse box, a little green wire jumps into it also? wtf...

eliminat that wire that goes to your fuse block to your alternator and run a wire from your alternator to your battery in the trunk so when you kill the battery switch it kills the engine

right..thats what i was doing but what messed me up was where THAT wire connected to the fuse box initially, there is a little green wire along with it....i dont know what that is and if i disconnect that..i dont know what im doing.
