Hey guys. Just checking to see how many people have done the "Big 3" upgrade. I am more or less trying to get some pictures of the alternator to battery wire. I took a quick look today while I had the car up on the lift, and I am finding it difficult to see the "B-terminal". Anyone have any pictures or experience with this? Thanks.

Oh, and for the guys who don't know what the "Big 3" upgrade is: It is the upgrading of the 3 most key wires to the electrical system. It helps to reduce voltage drops in your electrical system. It works very much like the grounding kits, to provide the best path possible for current. (For all I know, the grounding kits may even provide all of these wires, but I don't think they have the alternator to battery wire). Let me know if they do!

Alternator to Battery
Battery to Chasis
Chasis to Engine

 

I haven't, but would like to see pics also.

Wire is wire???

Feel free to repurpose any grounding kit wire to your needs.

 

Yes, true. What I meant was that maybe Gordgee's kit had a wire specifically intended for this purpose. Therefore everyone who has bought this kit would already have done this upgrade. I'll PM him to find out for sure. I am planning on doing this, so if no one else has, I will post pics when I complete the mod.

 

Ooooooooh I see. Sorry!

 

OK, here's my big update...I found the "B-terminal", AKA positive post. It is really hard to get to/see from the top of the engine, but I basically just traced it down from the battery terminal. I'll probably have to get at it from underneath the car when it is cold, because it is right next to the exhaust manifold. I will post pics when I finally do the upgrade, however any pics if someone has already done it are greatly appreciated. I also ordered my Optima D35 today for a nice price of $138 to my door. It is a reverse post battery w/650 CCA and 810 CA. Should fit nicely.
