Re: Best Way to hookup a 1 Wire Alternator ??

I ran a 6 gauge cable from the alternator to the starter battery post. I have a 0 gauge cable running from the positive side of battery to the starter post.

In addition there is a 0 gauge cable from the negative battery post to ground. The alternator I used was from Summit and it has a separate ground post on the case - so I ran a 6 gauge cable to the ground.

The wiring is similar to the pic labeled preferred wiring method. I haven't connected an amp meter yet, and still need to sort out the remaining under hood wiring. It is charging properly with these connections.
