HO Alternator + 0 gauge wiring, look okay?

just make it simple and go from alternator to battery with a fuse inbetween

Yeah.. I'm not sure of the need to go through the fuse box? I guess it was just used for distribution?

That's the question.. If it's just for distribution I could just connect the 0 gauge straight to the battery and then wire an 8 gauge from the battery to the fuse box. I'm somewhat confused as to the point of that is. Re-running the the "stock" wire really isn't an option because of the location of the alternator, it would be much more trouble than it would be worth.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. Run the 0GA from Alt to Battery, then run the stock 8GA (or replace it with new wire) from battery to fuse block. No matter what, you're still making the same connection, just routed differently.
