Recommended cable for alternator
Hey guys, I'm planning on buying a new 100 amp alternator (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-811001) and I would like to get it wired up properly and replace the puny stock cable. What's the best kit I should get for this at summit that would work with my mostly stock 305? Thanks!

So really just a regular cable? Do I need a fusable link or anything?

Not necessary. But you could install a high current fuse or circuit breaker, if you wish.
