Re: Multiple charging wires from alternator

Sorry for the lack of update. I now use a 63 amp unit from a '78 chevy truck.
Yes Kev, the fan will be ran by the popular Volvo fan relay, connected directly to my new junction block.

I am going to add a 10 gauge wire from the alt to a new junction block near the passenger headlight and connect that junction to the factory harness(using the old plug connector from the original volt regulator). I will also add an additional 10 gauge wire from that junction block to the factory junction on the passenger side.

Although I do not know if I should add another fusible link. I have a funny feeling all of my meddling is kinda causing a "go-around" of the original fusible link and therefore it isn't even necessary.

I do not think I will ever tax my charging system enough to cause it to burn up my original harness.
