Since I'm only going to 60 amps can I just leave the original alternator wire connected and add a 10 gauge wire with a 14 gauge fusible link running to the battery? Will that be safe and adequate, or do I also need to bypass the firewall connector and disconnect the amp gauge? (I know the amp gauge will no longer be accurate but I already have a volt gauge on the car) TIA!
This is what I did as well. I just left the factory wire attached to the alternator but I added a fusible link to it. The interior is now fed from 2 places instead of 1 and both wires are protected by fusible links. I ran the 10 gauge wire right to the starter relay. I put an inline fuse holder in the 10 gauge wire in case of a dead short in the alternator.
