Make sure you run a big ground wire from alternator casing to battery neg.   From what iv been reading it should be the BIG 4 and that should be included. 

Can be debated. I mean, the alt is secured in the metal (ground) bracket on the motor/block right?

 So, your basically running a wire go the same thing. Some swear by it, but I've had 2 alt builders tell me  "meh" whatever. ...

 

That said, we did "ground" all 4 of ours.

I have wondered about this also.. maybe just depends on the vehicle and at which points the alt is mounted?

I was thinking that because i thought the current ran over the top of metal so it might night be the best rout vs a 5200 strand copper wire with plenty of surface area.  Thats just my 2 cents.
