My MSD (6AL) instructions say "Do not connect the heavy red wire directly to the alternator". It says to connect it directly to the + terminal of the battery or a positive battery junction such as the starter solenoid.

So I thought I would connect it to the + on the starter relay - however, this terminal is also wired pretty much straight to the "bat" terminal on the alternator. So, what's the difference? Should I connect it somewhere else?

Also regarding the neg ground wire - I was planning on connecting it to the radiator core support for a chassis ground, this does kind of go against the MSD instructions saying either the engine or the - side of the battery. Would this be a problem?

Thanks in advance
