Depends on how you want it to work. Just the basic pass tech or a safer manner? This is the method I prefer. Keeps that fat wire line to the starter cold except when starting the car. Put the ford solenoid in the trunk right next to the battery On your 4 pole switch wire the alt like the one healtservices posted above, not like the one in my example. Make darn sure the cut off switch can handle the anticipated amp load. I HATE, yes HATE, to see cars that have that hot line from the alt to battery live all the time. If you've never seen a car burn to the ground because of it, it's a real joy. If you do put the relay in the alt line like I have, the way this one is wired is for a race car that the switch is turned off after every run. The relay will be a continuous draw when the master cut off is left on. If a street car, connect the trigger terminal to a switched key source instead of the downstream side of the master cutoff.

If your 4 prong switch cannot handle the load you can just wire it like this as well.
Actually I would have the wire from the battery disconnect go directly to the starter.

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I like your version a lot and have it in my files. I may still change mine over but because the system is already wired on my car and I have other items I'm still working on it's on the back burner. I would put a continuous duty solenoid for the alternator though.

Any wiring diagrams that show the mopar alt with 2 field connections instead of just a 1 wire alt, I want to keep the original style alt that I have and it has 1-BAT terminal, 2-FIELD terminals
Should still work without back feeding, leave the two field terminal as they are routed and route the 1-bat as described in one of the diagrams, but disconnect from bulkhead.
bumping a old thread - how would you guys add in the denso toyota altenators that alot of guys are running instead of the oem single wire? Otherwise if you have a MSD it's just a matter of rerouting the small red wire to the secondary terminal on the master switch, rather than use the alt wire.
Here is a diagram that should work with a MSD. Note the small red wire on the MSD is only a trigger wire so voltage lost across the long line is not important.
