Bill;
All you need is another cable between the alternator and starter. About
18 inches and the same size as the existing cable.In effect doubling the
current carrying capabilities. The cable between the battery and the
starter is ample.
I performed this mod on our 85 because the dealer air created an
unacceptable voltage drop in this area.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
