Upgrading Wiring...Question With Pics

[rAz]

I am in the process of upgrading all my power wires to 0/1 ga. I have the wire and all the connections, battery (yellow top), alternator(160a Afterthoughts) ready to install but first I wanna run my wires.

I have followed the 2 positive and 2 negative that come from my battery. I added a Pic of Icemans engine, with a diagram of where the wires went. (I have no digicam)

There looks to be a 10ga. coming from the alt. which I would think is the Power. But it seems to head along the rear of the engine. Does it go to the rear of the fuse box?

Are there any others I should upgrade?

Should I upgrade all the wires to 0/1ga. ?

Will it cause any problems?

Tried a search but I got a enormous amount of posts that were totally unrelated. Sorry :D

I'm going to move this to "Car Audio" - the peeps there will probably be able to help you out w/ wire requirements...

Your pic doesn't work. The wire from the alt goes to the fuse box. All the info related to this subject is in this thread here (2nd on the list w/ a search and also a sticky in this section):

Thank You

I original posted in All Go because this is an engine modification to a certain extent and I figured the people in that board would know more about the location of things under the hood.

I know the diagram was wrong, the one negative went to the wrong place but the rest was correct.

Hope you don't mind that I used your enigne. It was the largest clearest engine pic I couild find.

Oh about the negative, one goes to the chassis right next to the battery by the headlight, the other to a bolt on the block near the transmission.
