Hey Everybody, quick question, but first the facts: 1953 chevy 3100, 235 with 3 wire alternator. I know the connections that I need to make. What I can't figure out is the best way to temporarily route the wire that connects the bat stud on the alternator to the starter. My real limiting factor is that the wire is only 8 feet long. According to the FAM (if I'm reading it correctly), the original wiring ran from the generator to the driver side, down the length of the driver side, up the firewall to the ammeter. From the ammeter, a 2nd wire ran across the firewall and down to the starter. This routing appears to be longer that 8 feet. I'm looking for suggestions (and pics) of how others ran their alternator wires. ATM, the front sheet metal is still in the shed. So I can run a temporary connection while I continue to work on the truck and make a final connection after reinstalling the front sheet metal. If necessary, I can gather the supplies and make a longer wire, but if possible, I'd prefer to use what I've got. Thanks!
