Dennis,No fuse or fuseable link used. Wired mine with #6 from alternator to battery. Tuff Stuff has a good tech line. I added a fuse box and terminal post, from Del City, for my cooling fans and other accessories.Used the same set up for my Petty Stock Car Project. Here is a link to a pic....the red wire is from the alternator.

Thanks for the info, did you use a fuse or fusable link between the new alternator and the battery? Thanks Dennis C. Ollie wrote:Had the same issue with my 65 Satellite. A/C, amp, MSD ignition, electric cooling fans, power seats..ect. Solved my problems with a 100 amp single wire alternator. By eliminating the voltage regulator and direct wire to the battery no wiring issues. Worked for me. The only one out there (that I could find) is from Tuff Stuff. Uses the standard case and no bracket change required.
