well i was examining my alternator today, and this is the one im gonna send in for exessive amperage to mod. the area circled in red is the place where the wiring harnesses goes to connect to everywhere and it doesnt look like i can run 1/0 gauge, and if i keep the stock wire, for sure it will catch fire. Comments, ideas?

i would say keep the stock wiring.

Splice into the stock wiring wt the 1/0 guage.

if i do that i wont catch anything on fire rite? thats wat im scared of.

just splice it as close as you can.

make sure you fuse it. and you should be alright, i would run it for a while a look at it just to make sure.

why just a rewinding? and not a totally new alt from nathan?

but i agree with the splicing idea...

hmm its gonna be hard to spice....

lookey:

the 2 "V+" prongs go 2 the ignition switch and battery

and the little prong goes to the Dash light, and the isolated prong goes to the voltage regulator.

help....

no i meant keep the harness, and splice it from the wires coming from the harness. Just make it closest to the harness as possible

ah. isee wat yer satin.

but i chatted a lil with nathan from excessive amperage, and he said he would just solder a 1/0 gauge crimp ring to the B+ prong so i can run the 1/0 wire and keep the rest stock wiring.

thanks for your suggestions!! you guys are so helpful

What gets me is the voltage regulator. I have not seen a alt with an external regulator in years. Stock at least.
