Check the Power and Ground link to the right. You should be fine though.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

There'll be a stud on the back of the alternator (which may have a protective rubber piece over it) which will have a wire going to it which comes from the battery. That's the wire you want to upgrade.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

I would read DYohn's sticky on upgrading the big three at the top of this forum; upgrading the power wire from alternator to battery doesn't do you much good unless you also upgrade the ground wires.

Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while; you could miss it.
