12 gauge wire for atenator where to buy
Where can I buy red 12 gauge (3.0 metric) wire that connects to the power lug at the rear of the alternator? Also, does anyone know what the size of the non insulated eye terminal that fits over the lug as well as the rubber boot that covers the lug nut?

This kit will probably provide everything you need:

and here's the boot:

If it was me I'd just go get some automotive wire and lugs at the car parts store (or go to the pick-a-part and get everything) but this looks like a pretty complete kit. Be aware that you probably want to use that 8-gauge sized wire at the alternator output. Hope that helps.

I believe that your 79 originally had a 10 ga wire from the alternator (at least that's what my 77 had). I would use nothing smaller than 10 gauge, and would recommend 8 ga. I am running 6 ga with my CS130D alternator.
