Any chance you could post a photo and wiring diagram of your wiring mod? I need all the help I can get with this stuff.

I'm wiring up a 130A alt now, starting with 2 Ga cable from the alt B+ to a 175A fuse, then on to the battery. As I look at the relatively small size of the stock harness originally from B+ to the underhood fuse box, I'm wondering how hard it would be to replace it with larger diameter wire(s), since its a pretty short run. Is that necessary, or will the stock harness handle the new Alt output? Lord knows I'm no EE, but it seems that a larger feed, at least to the fuse box, will help take full advantage of the new Alt. Anybody tried that?
Thanks - appreciate the good info, Mack
