[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1856004, member: 565696"] Yeah, it hooks up like normal. Only difficult is getting the old off, then everything's a snap. I kept the factory wire going into the cabin, but cut off the terminal and replaced it with a brass setscrew terminal so everything matched under the hood. I did replace my alternator-to-starter cable with an 28" 2 gauge cable from autozone, tho. I think it set me back a whopping $8 bucks, and had the washer terminals already soldered on. And i don't know about your alternator, but mine came with a 2" pulley where the factory pulley was ~2-3/4 (probably equates to something metric) but i just got a new factory size belt, and the tensioner still had a good 2" of travel to it, so everything's playing real nice. Just make sure you're super careful with any electrical leads you disconnect, they love to corrode and break (my entire alternator replacement charade started as simply tring to do the big-3....) if the positive bolt on your starter has enough thread left on it after the original bolt, i would highly recommend leaving the old wire and bolt on there, and simply putting the new bolt on what's left of the screw, just to prevent possible breakage problems. And just remember to reconnect your exciter, and that's about all that can go wrong. Good luck [/QUOTE]
