wrong way to go, stick with a 3 wire. It will work better on your car. There are several available in 100+ amp packages

He's talking about the main battery feed wire and the two regulator wires that plug into the side of the case, that's the stock 3 wire setup.

Stick with this setup, it works better.

It's a Corvette, not a tractor or a boat. Use a 3-wire. http://www.madelectrical.com/electri...hreewire.shtml
