cool, thanks guys. much appreciated. it may be overkill but I will runa 1 gauge ground cable from the engine block --> the battery terminal. Ron Francis and other sources recomend this. so that would mean I would have two ground wires coming into the battery box. one for the battery --> chassis ground at the rear of the car, and another for the battery--> engine block ground. I'll have to drill another hole in the Taylor box then, and use a gromet to seal it... if that is legal to add another hole to the box?


from my calculations I will need:
about 48 feet of red 1 gauge power wire
31 feet of black 1 gauge ground wire
18 1 gauge ring terminals for 3/8" studs
2 battery terminal mounts 1 gauge
2 fuses (or possibly resettable circuit breakers???)
10 feet of 8 gauge red power wire (from junction box to dashboard fuse panel)
2 8 gauge ring terminals
a 4 post weatherproof kill switch (longacre 52-45791)


I have never looked into a re-settable circuit breaker setup. didnt know it was a thing for automotive electrical. any links to specific ones you would recommend??? I have the high output alternator (specs listed above) and a high torque mini starter, and might eventually put a amp/sub woofers back in the car also...
