Partially installed big 3. Is this a problem?

[Gatorade]

I was in the middle of installing the big 3. I got a work call and had to run. The only thing i got done was the power wire from alt to battery, neither ground wire has been installed. I have to work again tomorrow. Will this damage anything for a couple of days until i can finish the install? Should i leave the radio off?

nah you'll be fine. May exp some voltage drop if you do crank it sky high but monitor it anyway even if you don't, just to be sure.

Yeah, that was the plan until i noticed the pos stud on the alt was damaged. I wasn't sure if i was going to be able to install the power wire at all. So i started there.

Nah....doesn't matter. However, the alt to batt will allow more current flow. A ground is just a ground.
