my all day 105 amp alt install diode ??

[breezy]

Well it took me all day to get the alt. on but it's finished. I tried the resistor and it wouldn't charge, so I left it out. Has anyone else had this problem and did you hook it up without it. Will it be ok? I also got the cover on to hide the computer wires and relays. Had to do a little triming but fits nice now. What do you guys think? You can see my wire from alt. to starter coming out the bottom of the cover. Behind the cover is a two post junction box from a s-10.
