Eric - I chose to not use any type of fuse between the battery & alternator. If the charge cable is run correctly, I don't feel that it is needed. As I mentioned earlier, I've performed this mod in many, many vehicles (my own & customer vehicles). I've never had a single problem.

Here's how I did it on my Caprice....this is an OLD car and the mod was done when the car had about 95k miles on it.

I did not photograph one cable. Since this car uses a 'Frame on Chassis' construction, I added a body-to-chassis cable. For no particular reason, I chose to install this 4th cable at the rear of the car. The factory made a few body-to-chassis connections as well, of course. However, they are approximately equilavent to 8ga. wire on this car. My 'new' body-to-chassis cable is zero ga.

Of course, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask them here or via PM :)
