So i decided to upgrade the wiring under the hood. I figure id post it up to see if theres anything i might miss or maybe see if someone else has an added piece of advice.
I got new coated terminals,, 4 and 6 guage wiring,, i got side mount brass terminals for extra fittings,,,, im gonna run 2, 4, or 6 guage wiring to the alternator,, starter and fuse block,,,,, then new grounds for the battery and replace the grounds on the motor.
Would adding any additional grounds do any good or will it be a waste of time??
PS,, i did search and found a few writeups, some for headlight wiring upgrades for H4 conversions which im not doing just yet and i did find a writeup on dual battery setups which i will do soon myself,,, but for now i just want to make sure that i replace all the stock wiring with way better wires!!!
Oh and FYI,, im running a yellow top and have had the stock alternator beefed up to around 140 amps. BUT with 7 KC daylighters and two 2000 rms amps and a few other gadgets,, if i turn everything on at once, the volt meter still drops to right over the red. She can still maintain a smooth idle which is GREAT but if i add in a winch,,,, well then i guess im gettin a mean green 220 amp alt and an additional yellow top!!
