Doesn't M stand for 000?

I'd whine too if I was turning at 3M rpms!

I just swapped in an new Delco style 71273 unit. It fits easily on the LH side and actually provides more belt adjustment room. Two problems, however:

1. I don't have the insulating plug so my wire connectors go directly to the blades on the unit. I've used #10 wire, which worked fine on the old Lucas 18ACR. Now, however, that wire gets very hot, and think it might be good idea to put a fuse in that run, which goes directly from alternator to starter. I suppose the higher amperage requires a heavier wire. 

2. The new unit makes a loud  unacceptable whistle when running up to 3M RPMs or so. I've tired different belt tensions to no effect.  Can I expect this to dissipate with usage? 

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
