One wire alternator conversion- best method to run the thick power wire

wondering why you didn't discuss how you wanted it with the shop. since this was a test, i'd say everyone failed. neither of you seemed to have any interest in discussing what you expected before the work was done

Or maybe I actually did discuss with them the route. To include asking that better quality wire be used and to call me if the supplied cable wasn't long enough. :rolleyes:

They didn't call me and instead used a thick stiff parts store cable. Charged me 2.5hours labor to remove old alternator, swap pulleys, install new alternator and run the wire. Taking my time with cold beverages I don't think it would had taken me more than 45 minutes.

But after reading the above post, it might be best the ran it to the battery instead directly to the starter. I just wanted a cleaner looking engine bay. Prior owner had already ran a 2 gauge amp wire from the battery.
