More questions,, I am working on 69 Camaro with aaw hwy 22 kit, I installed the battery in the trunk, from positive post to remote solenoid in trunk out of solenoid to the front of pass side floor board. I mounted a bulkhead fitting there and the other side goes to battery, I have the ignition wire from the switch goes back to solenoid in trunk to operate starter. I now need to get power to fuse box and from alternator to charge battery, I need to install 175 amp mega fuse as well. Should I run one single wire back to the battery from alternator? since the floor post will be dead unless solenoid is activated, or should I eliminate the remote solenoid and just run straight off the ignition to the S terminal on starter then connect my charge wire to the floor post and install mega fuse between floor post and fuse box?
I have fuel pump power, battery cable, starter solenoid wire all on the right side of car just trying not to run more wires then needed.
Thanks Travis
I think the function of the 175 amp fuse he is talking about is similar to the fuseble link wire that is recommended by Mad Electrical
I ran a 8gauge from battery side of solenoid protected by 12 gauge fusible link to terminal block on firewall with a 16 gauge fusible link to dash power. Before I moved battery to trunk there was a inline fuse at solenoid that was 50 amp. 175 is huge.

I bought a roll of 4 awg wire, I will mount my 175 megafuse in center of dash, on the firewall inside. I plan to run my wire from alternator to the megafuse. then continue with 4 awg wire to the battery, so both wires will be on right side terminal, then on the left run a wire to my power feed for fuse box. Do I need a fusible link in the alternator 4 awg wire or something back by the batthery in trunk?
Thanks
