Racetronix Harness HELP ASAP!!
Racetronix Harness HELP ASAP!! Hey all...
I am running my racetronix harness and am trying to figure out where to hook the + cable to. From under the car I see a post on the back of the alternator with a BLACK wire coming from it...near the bottom of the alternator. Is this where I hook to? It is confusing me because it is black (normally a ground)_.
Thanks for the help....

This is what Racetronix sent me. HTH.
Please take the time to look at the wiring on the car before you start the installation. It should all become very clear to you. The connectors on the Racetronix harness are unique to the sending unit only. Everything plugs in and ALL the power terminals are labeled.
Mount the relay and spiked chassis ground lug in front of the DS rear tire using the factory bolt as shown in here: http://www.racetronix.com/product/RX.../Dcp_1169a.jpg
Clean mating the surface and the bolt with a wire brush to expose clean metal and apply a generous amount of silicone grease supplied to prevent corrosion. Plug the harness into the chassis and the fuel module into the Racetronix harness. Insert the connector locks (F98=red, F99+=blue). Route the harness along with the fuel lines under the car. Secure the harness every 12" with the supplied wire ties. The harness power source may be hooked to the alternator's + output (best) or the + battery terminal. (If you chose to use the battery as a power source run the harness over the top of the transmission housing and up the PS inner front fender well) Route the harness such that it does not rub on any sharp surfaces or come to close to any hot exhaust pipes. Mount the fuse holder with the supplied self tapping SS screw in a location where access is possible if required. Hook the harness + power to the alternator output stud OR the battery + terminal using the supplied brass battery. The factory battery nuts are removed by pressing them out from behind the terminal boots. http://www.racetronix.com/images/C4/..._Hookup-01.jpg
Install the body ground upgrade cable. One end hooks up to battery - and the other end to chassis ground. The screw on top of the battery nut is considered the accessory tap. These are installed after the nuts are secured to the battery.
The extra connector set included with the system is to interface a pump booster if required. The mating connector on the harness is located just after the relay.
Please note that this product is intended for installation by a qualified person ONLY. If a customer buys the product for the intent of DIY then it is assumed that he/she has the qualifications, experience and equipment to properly deal with the installation of the system. Working with fuel and electrical is not something that should be attempted by an inexperienced person who does not have proper training especially in the area of safety.

I have a 2000 Z/28 using a 6.0 Iron Block. Is there a particular problem using the B+ terminal next to the under hood electrical boxes. The output wire on the alternator to the battery looks about a 6 or 8 ga. wire...so that shouldn't be an issue? Thoughts? I'll add a photo to show where i'm tempted to grab my power.

Thanks Racetronix email server rejected my Budweiser email account...guess they don't like the King of Beers!! Seems like as long as it's a clean, heat free connection it's got plenty of current capacity...
