    Alternator +12V

    Where does this wire run to stock? I see it run into a thick wiring harness thing and I dont have time to take it all apart, the bolt/wire on the top of the alt (not in the 3/4 pin plug) is the +12V right? Can that be run directly to the pos of the batt?

    It runs from the alternator to the under the hood fuse/relay panel. Connects to a 70 amp fuse. The other end of the fuse runs to the battery.

    yeah, this is correct. It's important that the alternator's charging wire is fused.

    Of course, everything else has been done in 4awg, would make sense for the positive to be the same too otherwise its quite pointless. 70A good enough for it? They are 65 right?
