I have a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, and am days away from doing a complete system in it. I want to upgrade all my power and ground wires on the car, but have a question on how to upgrade the power wire on my stock GM alternator.
The power wire "plugs" into the alternator. What I mean by that is, it has a black 90-degree-angled plug on the end of the power wire, and looks like it plugs into a "socket" on the alternator. I haven't touched a thing, so I haven't tried messing with it.
So what the heck do I do so I can run 4-gauge from the alt. to the battery???? I need help BIGTIME!!! I have NO clue. Anyone that has upgraded their power wire on their alt. and has a similar stock configuration, PLEASE help!!

Can you some how take that off the old one and put it on the new? Also have you checked with a parts shop to see if that part can be gotten? To see you you can do it that way? I am sure you have though of this but this is just in case...
Sorry I was not more help..

I agree with Dukk, leave it be for now, if need be, work on that later. Do however, upgrade your ground cable, and add another ground from the battery to the car body, preferably on a clean, non-painted, bolt of some sort.
