Charging System Wiring

Just an FYI...

When sizing a fusible link, the FL should be TWO sizes smaller than the wire you are protecting.

On the feed into the cabin, connecting the two 10ga wires together, I'd use a 14ga fusible link.

You are basically doing the Mad wire around deal. If the stock wiring/bulkhead are in rough shape, OK. Not my favorite way to wire up a Mopar.

The 8ga wire for the charging system is fine. I sell a lot of them with a 12ga FL installed.

I installed the new alternator today, and ran the 8 gauge wire to the starter relay with a little extra, until I know exactly what i'm going to do.
I Installed the new voltage regulator, and ran the blue and green wires to the field terminals, as they were originally.

Question. The alternator is grounded to the mounting bracket right, or do I need to run a separate wire from/to somewhere?

Also, I should have mentioned this earlier, I rewired the car about a year ago, but lost my new diagrams.

I know that I followed the original wiring diagrams, but basically anything that I thought had a heavy load, I used the stock wires to run relays, and installed an auxiliary fuse panel in the engine bay powered from the stater relay which runs the components. Lights, Heater Blower motor, radio, Headlights, MSD, radiator fan, and (I think, but have to physically check to make sure, the rear defrost fan). I still need to retrace everything and label all the new fuse panel components.

I plan on installing a fusible link or fuse before the new fuse panel based on the added total amps I get per component. I haven't at this point because i am still in the making sure everything works as it should phase, and don't plan on turning everything on at once until then.

I did follow the MAD Amp gauge bypass. When I pulled off the factory tape, all wires were in pristine condition.
I drilled out the two 10 gauge bulkhead wire terminals, as well as the ignition 1 terminal, ran new wires and packed those and all other terminals with dielectric grease.

I prefer overkill, so should I ditch the fusible links altogether, and just install https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CZ2Z92/?tag=joeychgo-20 with appropriate fuses from the alternator to the starter relay, from the starter relay through the bulkhead disconnect, and from the starter relay to the new fuse panel?

Thanks for the help so far.
