Thanks that's all I needed. I will probably just fab one up like some I have seen on the Internet with a fuse link. I don't see the need to spend 40.00 on a kit when most can be found locally. Is there a recommended fuse link rating you'd recommend?

My only other question is should I be looking into other problems besides a weak alternator? I mean my car had a steep cam in it, I'm unsure of the model but its a comp can. I believe my idle is somewhere between 800-900 but it seems as though any electronics will cause my battery gauge to fall at idle at let's say a stop light. Fr instance my cooling fan when switched on with drop the gauge then it will go back up then if idles for a log time will slowly fall until I rev It then climb again. Today I had my wipers, and the blower motor for hvac on medium and when sitting at idle the gauge would fall and the blower motor would get slower until I revved it. But the alt puts out 14.5 at idle. Are these alternators really that weak to begin with because that would seem impractical. My battery shows 12.5 stagnant volts and I just charged it thinking that help. Do y'all think its really a weak alternator? The steep cam? Weak battery? It just seems the alt should Atleast be able to handle a few electronics.
You can remove those wires if you retain the sense wire, as Jrichker noted, or run your own.I figured so im just one that hates all that messy wiring everywhere. Im still trying to figure out what to do to clean up that rats nest under the starter solenoid that really erks me. Anyone ever done anything so far as covering that outside of doing a full tuck? Maybe devised an aluminum cover, or plastic or what not?
Exactly how my 5.8 Capri is. Big power wire to the starter from the alternator. No mess.you could buy a one wire alternator with internal regulator and forget all that mess
