i just replaced the battery, alternator and starter and now im having trouble wiring it all. i have the battery positive to the starter large terminal and the alternator outlet wire to the same place. when i try to hook the positive terminal to the battery i get alot of sparks. is this normal? where should the battery negative be grounded. is it grounded in the wrong spot or not grounded at all?

 

correct, incorrect alt should go to batt pos, yes, engine Large gauge-chassis smaller gauge


92 but will give you the gist

i found out that i blew out the stock alternator output wire. i made a new one with ten gauge wire. no matter which point i touch the output wire to i get lots of sparks from where i touch it too. i have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it. please help if any of you know whats wrong.

 

so the alternator was grounding to the valve cover cause it was to close. so i banged in the cover abit and put more isulator on the terminal and i was good to go.

 

You can usually find a rubber boot that covers it. Most auto parts stores carry them and they come stock on nearly every car.
