rsfm089 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 So when I did the big three my original power wire runs almost right through the engine. I was going to leave it till I put on the new alt. Let the guys at the shop take out the wire. Is it okay that I'm running two wires off my battery to my alt? I did my big three in four gauge for now cause I had a bunch of it lying around.

As long as the OEM and new added wires arent anywhere they would melt, you are fine. Having multiple power wires off of a alternator charging bolt is fine.

rsfm089 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 Thank u I was reading another post and ppl started talking about fires don't need that
ChevyBoy95 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 I did the big 3 4yrs ago, i still have all my OEM wiring.... power is going to take the path of least resistance, so having extra wires on there wont hurt anything.

rockFord_Expedition Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 When doing the big 3 it is better to add to and not replace the OEM wiring anyway. So you are fine. Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire

THIS! Besides.. depending on your cars wiring and circuits, you may need the stock wiring to go to the battery. In many cars, the starter's wiring goes through that.
