also as you can see in the diagram you are not running a wire from the alt. to the battery but instead running the red alt pwr. wire provided in the harness so wiring the main feed with the fuseable link to the alt. would be pointless
Ok so what EZ is doing is using that wire to the solenoid as the charge wire it would have to be connected to the main post on the starter the outer terminal only gets power when the starter is engaged (used on point systems to bypass resitor wire while cranking) and the main post is connected directly to the battery. Personally I'm not a big fan of putting the charge wire down at the starter the fusible link has a built in resistance to bottle neck the current and exposing it to the extra heat from the exhaust would increase the wires resistence. Since it is the charge wire and not the cab power supply as I orig thought I would run it to the batt similar to the orig oem wiring. mho
