OK, I've installed the GM one wire alternator and wired it. (I was
surprised that it fits in the stock late alternator location and the
pulley lines up; the only mod. necessary was to enlarge the bottom ear
hole on the alternator).
OK, now for the reason for this e-mail. I want to make sure I've wired
it correctly before I hook up the negative battery post. I connected a
12 gauge wire with an inline 30 amp fuse from the "red" post on the
alternator directly to the battery + terminal. I connected the other
post on the back of the alternator to ground. I've seen messages
stating this is not necessary.
Does this sound right? Am I going to blow up my car or melt my wiring?
More importantly, can I completely disconnect my external voltage
regulator and leave the connector dangling? Do I have any other wiring
I need or should do?
