Wiring in a larger alternator

You appear to be doing things correct by modifying the wire from to the main splice in the harness to the alternator. Just be aware that that main wire from splice to fuse link block is not as simple as it appears relative to the battery meter functionality.

Does anyone know the correct "lengths"? My harness is/was all sorts of hacked up and the lengths I currently have set up are from what I already had. Also should I change from the anmeter to a volt meter?
