Red face wiring 73

Thanks restorpro for the advice, will do. Have a new question about inserting a fuse link in a fusible wire. My alt has a 2 wire plug and a separate wire post. The 2 plug wires are labeled as such - an exitor (white) and the other (red) alt output. The hot wire alt output needs to have a fuse between the alt post and the hot post on the starter. Confused yet. What size amp fuse goes on this wire and where on this wire shall the fuse go. Thanks ez wiring.

Go to your local auto parts store, They should have a 5 1/2" to 6" long 14 gage fusible link wire with a eyelet on one end to fit the starter post. Then splice your alternator hot wire to it, That would be a cleaner more factory like way of doing it rather than a fuse.
