i moved my battery to the trunk. The grounds are 1/0 to the body frame,to the sub frame and then to the motor(72 firebird). Here is how the whole system is set up: from the batter+ 1/0 running all of the way to the starter selenoid. The alternator has the stud on the back with the 2 wire plug on the side. The large field wire (12gauge) runs all the way back to the disconect switch then to the + of the battery. the small wire runs to the idiot light. The +on the back of the alternator has 3 wires, 1 goes to the starter selenoid, 1to the ignition, and 1 to the ac/heater system. the original 2 gauge wire that ran to the battery up front is still connected to the starter selenoid. i have all of the wires that used to connect to the + of the batter running off it. I was told that i need to move the ac/heater wire and ignition wire from the back of the alternator to the starter selenoid. Would this fix my high rpm (when the car is hot) voltage drop problem?? my ignition system and fuel pump are messing up when the car gets hot at high rpm, i run out of fuel and the ignition system acts like i hit the rev limiter.
