you should follow the stock grounding and ground all of the grounding points, then take off the stock grounding. thats the Correct way to do it.

Six 4ga ring terminals with plastic sleeves. The should be less than $1.50 each.Frankiewoo wrote:take off the stock grounding and replace it with the other wires, so what do i need to buy???
10 ft of 4ga wire. I used welding cable from a local welding shop because it was only 60 cents per foot. You will have extra, but too much is better than too little.
Use a flat screwdriver & a hammer to start the crimp of the ring terminal, and then finish crimping it in a bench vice.
Solder the crimped ring terminal with flux core solder and heat the terminal and wire end with a propane torch because a soldering iron/gun will not get hot enough.
Remember, measure all your wire runs before you cut any of the cable to make sure you have the right length for each piece.
Also ... make sure you clean all the paint away from the grounding points on the body until they are shiney, bare metal and make sure the engine block ground point has been cleaned so it is shiney.
I used a dremel with a stone grinding bit to grind the paint away.
To locate a welding shop near you (in the US) go to www.superpages.com
In the 'Category' type in 'welding supply', then choose your city & state.
This will locate welding supply shops near you. Call them and ask if they carry 4ga flexable welding cable. If they do, then go buy some from them.
I had to call 3 shops before I found one that had the cable.
Any more questions.... just ask.
if you want the bling factor just go to a sound store and get speaker wire or something.TheGreatAndPowerfulOz wrote:Six 4ga ring terminals with plastic sleeves.

Again... look @ the pics I took. They show EXACTLY where the grounds go, and where to hook up the alternator output positive to the battery positive.Frankiewoo wrote:ok but what points of ground do I use, i mean 2 body points or 3 and pos to alternator right??? :twisted:
Do *NOT* connect the battery positive to the frame/body/case of the alternator, that is a ground and will short out the battery. ONLY connect it to the bolt on the back of the alternator that is the positive output.
Carefully look @ all the pics I took, they should be a good guide.
