where do you get power? same place you did before just extend the wires to make them reach. And actually you would be shortening the wire going to the battery since it will be much closer to the battery now, as far as the exciter wire I would just extend it, it needs to be the same wire it was before so that your warning light will still work properly. What that means is when the alt is not charging the battery warning light comes on, the alternator is turned on by that same wire that the warning light is on, its actually a direct powered wire going through the warning light and out to the alternator, if the alternator is not charging it grounds that wire and makes the light come on.
