^ On many cars the alt/engine to frame connection is cheesy and undersized. Plus it is rarely from anywhere near the alternator.

This is an easy run of cable so I just say do it.

 

Teri you know who this is

Its not hard at all and i'll even sell ya the 0/1,4 gauge and conecters to get it done.You saw what im opening

You also won't need to even remove the alt like said above,you will need some extended side posts if your useing your stock delco battery.(think you bought a yellow top anyways)

 

Alternator to battery charge wire on a Cavalier definately needs to be beefed up.
The charge passes through a fusible link to the starter, and from there up to the battery.
Crank your system for 5 minutes with the engine running, and then see how warm that alternator charge lead is.....careful.....don't burn your fingers.

 

cause she spent most of them in the doughnut shop,its a fun place here at cca

 

Haven't bought one yet actually lol Lemme know when your shop opens up man, I'm in need of some gear lol I almost forgot who this was until you mentioned your shop I had one battery tap, but my rents conveniently put it away from the one spot I'd never lose it.... They're inexpensive though so I'm not worried. Only reason it never went on in the beginning was I couldn't get the damn piece outta the plastic on the battery connector! lol

 

yeah there only like $4 you just have to push the old one out with your thumbs,I'll help you out.

 

Lemme know when you're up and running and/or willing to give a hand and I'll bring the cav out
