Battery relocation question.

I just wanted to check before I fire this car up. I have the battery in the trunk going directly into a fuse. I then have it running to a distro block under the hood. This is the distro block https://www.tspeconline.com/product/VPNB2 I have the battery and the alternator on the hot side with the starter and fuse box on the fused side. Is that ok or do I need to swap the alternator and starter so that the alternator is fused and the starter is hot.

Don't think you've provided enough information about how the particular fuse block you chose works to be able to say for sure how to connect the wires.

Can provide this diagram that shows how the stock system is set up, though:


Things to note about this diagram:
  • Alternator (Charging System) is connected to the positive battery through a 100A fusible link.
  • The starter (Starting System) is connected directly to the positive battery terminal. No fuses.
  • ACD pump (if you have it) is connected to the positive battery through a 60A fusible link.
  • The small pair of wires going to the fuse box are connected directly to the positive battery terminal, since the fusible links are inside the fuse box.
