I am a total rookie when it comes to wiring for starter and alternator. I think so hard that I start second guessing how logical it is. I have procrastinated all week so I need to seek help.
How does the battery / Alternator/ Starter wiring hook up? I have a 130-140 single wire alternator on a 351w with a High torque Mini starter. (MSD 6al box)
Is this close?
1- 2 gauge from the starter to starter-solenoid.
1- 4 gauge from Alt to pos battery
1��2 gauge from Neg. battery to frame
1-2 or 4 gauge from block to fire wall
1-4 gauge from pos batt to starter solenoid (same side as starter?)

I know some of the gauge size is overkill but that is what I have. Does anything else attach to starter solenoid? Is there anything I am missing or have wrong?THanks for any assistance.
