Alternator To Battery......

i think i drained my red once.... maybe it was just really low.. not sure.

since the new alt went in, i've had no problems though.

anyone want to do a little write up how they did this?
i put mine in today, and i want to make sure i did it right. what did you guys do with the original alternator wire? did you leave it in the loom? and is it absolutely necessary to upgrade the ground, too? i have pulleys on my car, and i did this to get the alternator to output enough for my amp. i don't think i'm actually ever going to push the 160 Amps that my new alternator is rated at.

btw, anyone need a stock alternator for a 2.4L?

sounds like you did the same as me.

all i did was take my alt off, take the power wire off, put the new accessory power wire on, then put on the old power wire, but the nut back on top, then connected the other end of the accessory wire to the battery.
