Default Alternator Wiring
Just a quicky

What would the proper gauge wire be for a 100amp alt? I tried 8 but that heated up real darn quick. would 4g be enough, or is 2g required.

Thanks for the help
Ryan

Jegs sells a deluxe kit from East Coast altenators with a #4 wire. a # 4 should do the trick!1

It depends on the length of the cable that you are running. If the battery is under the hood, I would go with 2 gauge. If it is in the trunk, I would go with 0 gauge.
