I would like to know that too. I just recently put a new alt. on my stang and I have the wires run like marx91 does. So what your saying is that instead of running my 4 guage wire from the alt to the relay , I should run it from the alt. straight to the battery and omit theorange& black wire? Where can I get one of those 160amp resetable fuses? And If I needed a ground wire where am I supposed to go with it? From the alt. to the battery or from the alt to pc of metal on the frame?

I did a 4 gauge to a 150 amp waffer fuse to 4 gauge to the starter solonoid, then I did a 4 gauge ground from the ground spot behidn the battery to one of the bolts on the front of the head. You can get waffer fuses and holders from circuit city

Got it, run the 4 gauge alt to battery, eliminate the stock black/orange wire sart it up and call it a day turn on the stereo and AC....enjoy.

Thanks for the help.

run the 4 ga wire to the battery side of the starter soleniod. and I also ran a 4ga ground from the top bolt of the alternator to the battery, and from the passenger side head to a bolt I welded in the fender. (I relocated my battery to the rear)

RE: 6G ALternator Install

I figured it all out, I actually went in and cut back the black and orange wire in the loom (alt side)about 15" then went to the solenoid side and cut back about 10" this way there is just adead floating wire in the loom. Then I found the yellow wire at the solenoid side and cut it off as well(same spot as the Black orange wire, and soldered a new yellow wire on to the solenoid and put a connector ring on it to the solenoid. Then I went and bought a 150 amp circuit breaker only 38.00 at this electronics shop by my house. Put that on my 4 Gauge fairly close to the alternator(only avail open spot) now here is the clicncher....still got 0 volts with the ignition on on the regulator wire, well I got a schematic and realized if the cluster isnt plugged in you get zero volts, plugged in the cluster and whala...it all works great.

Thanks for everybodys help. Now I am just waiting for my electric fan to get here so I can hook that up. Just bought a PWR Aluminum radiator as well will be doing the whole install as soon as the fan arrives.

Thanks again, and Ill keep ya posted on the install.
