Burnt wire to Alternator
I posted about this several years ago, but I all but stopped driving the car. Now I'm doing a minor restoration and adding some things.
I want to properly address the problem.
The power wire going to the alternator is burnt. It is tightly fastened. The starter wires look rough also.
I have an aftermarket stereo system with a 500/5 amp and a navigation hu. I just installed Radio Flyer HID projectors, HID fog lights, and seat heaters. I have a brand new yellow top battery.
I was thinking of doing the Big 3 (as suggested by Bill Curlee and others).
Do I need a new alternator? If so, will a stock AC Delco suffice? Should I get a higher output alternator?
Do I need to repair the wires shown in the photos? What's the best way? Should I solder the crimp-connectors to the wires?
Thanks!
