Ok. my OEM alternator is out. I have a 220A alternator am gonna try to put in. I also want to replace the battery terminals, and all wires to 1/0 AWG (grounds and connectors.)

I wanted to save this for when i wa ready to put all my "junk" in the car...
anyway
I don't have anything but stock equipment in the car right now, and the battery is about 4 days old.

So my qesutions are, can i just pick up a $3 or $4 set of terminals for the battery for now from a autoparts store,

do they have to read the same guage as the wire? Like i saw some regually terminals with two bolts for the wiring, no wire reading, can i use that for the next two months?

The directions say nothing about the engine block wire being chaged, should i upgrade that too?

help a brudda out!! pleze

I have to drive my girls civic for now. SO i just want it up and running , but becasue i'm using a altinator thats rated double the power of the OEM, i want to know whats the best way to go here...

honestly... your best bet would be to bring it to a car audio shop, mainly because i read your thread about wrapping a wire around the spark plug for a tach signal, and personally I dont think you or your friends should be near a car.

No do not buy $3 terminals from a car part store your best bet, is to either go through Don (pearlmax) or online some where, im sure he has some pictures of terminals he has instock.

0 AWG WIRE /Crimp Terminals
Optima red top/yellow top

I have a 210 amp stock alternater from nissan, and my lights barely dim with the big 3 upgrade, if done properly it should be a very effective tool. But like i said i dont suggest letting you or your friends do it.
