So you just want the one wire that goes from the positive to the alternator? There are actually 3 different wires leaving the positive terminal...just making sure we're on the same page. I just looked at mine and I would geuss about 5'. That may be a little conservative but it's better to have too much than not enough.

5 feet huh? well I was close, I figured 6'. I'm sure I can just order it longer and cut it to same size as the stock one once I take it out. I just wanted to get it correct the frist time. Thank for you help.

always, always order at least a couple feet longer than you think you need. when I ran all my wires I even left about 8" of extra wire at the battery in case I needed to put on new terminals or something down the line.

The power wire routing from the battery to the alternator is two wires. I am using 4 gauge wire (1672 strands x 36 gauge wire) and it is very flexible. One wire will routes from the battery to the +12Vdc post by the fuse blocks. The second wire will route from the +12Vdc post to the alternator. All together, I would get 10 feet of wire and the necessary connectors.
