You should not be smoking 0 gauge wire and a 300a fuse with just an 80a alt.

Where was the wire smoking/melting?

[gibblegeibel]

were it connected in the aftermarket fuse holder

[SnowDrifter]

Pics of connection?

If the screw was loose then it wasa bad connection

[gibblegeibel]

ok i have a question, this car has an 80 amp alternator. can i just hook straight up to the power distribution block under the hood where the stock wire was hooked up with a 100 amp fuse?

here is the power distribution blcok i was taking about

[gibblegeibel]

here is the wire from the alternator to the aftermarket fuse block

[gibblegeibel]

now here is the fuse holder and the wire with the wire going to the battery.

now i notice the fuse is not blown.

[gibblegeibel]

let me know what you guts think.

The nuts were loose on the 300 amp fuse holder, no question.

Just re-do the cable with a new fuse holder and make sure the set screws on the fuse holder are tight and you should have zero problems.

Or, just leave the stock wiring in place and remove the 1/0 gauge cable. 1/0 gauge cable is WAY overkill for a stock 80 amp alternator, and is probably not helping you at all.
