What do I need to do my electrical system in my dart.

I copied this many years ago. I added a 1-0 Gauge welding wire from the trunk to the engine block.

1 gauge wire will work for most with out all the forward electronics, but 1-0 is GOOD overkill. 2-0 is more overkill and not really needed, is extra heavy, but only about 2 pounds more. It is $$$ more too.

The below is just the diameter of the copper, not the sheath. Sheath diameter can be very deceptive.

1 Gauge is 0.289 Inch or 7.35mm
1-0 gauge is 0.325 Inch or 8.25mm
2-0 gauge is 0.365 inch or 9.25mm

Will this wiring method kill the alternator? It looks like the master kill switch will kill battery power but not kill the alternator.
