So Frustrated!!!!!!

[Toady]

Alright So I bought a lot of parts and wire for the big three, and i am getting a 230 amp alt, so i decided to go and do the big three so that when my alt gets here all i have to do is install it. Well the big three on my car is so freakin difficult. 1 it's a side mount, 2 the stock wires are so freakin short, i dont think i can even cut the old adapter off and put my new stinger side mount adapter on because the wires are so short. There are the wires going into the adapter, then there is a positive and a ground that run towards the windshield (fuse box maybe). So right now im just in I HATE MY LIFE mode until i can figure out what to do, if anybody has ideas please help. The reason i want a bigger alt and the big 3 is because the stock wiring on it is like 8 gauge or 10 maybe. and there is barely any space to cut the wires or put the terminals on or anything there is a big piece that runs to the air filter right by the battery. Any ideas, advice, or information would be appreciated please.

This isn't mine but here is a pic of under the hood

You don't have to remove the old wires just add the new to it, so just unscrew the nut on the alt and add the larger wire and add the others to the chassis and battery.

Im not removing the old wires, i was gonna add to it, i was gonna remove the stock adapter and add a new one because the bolt on my stock adapter is so short i cannot add to it

If you cut the rubber on the outside of the terminal the bolt should pop out letting you slip the new lug in there so you dont have to cut the plug off.

this ^^^ electricity will naturally take the easieast path so keep the factory wires there and just add the bigger ones to help

Yes it will work unless the bolt isnt long enough then its a trip to the parts store for a longer one.
