For my first time i will upgrade The Big Three........there is an obsticle that i must pass first. I read you should fuse the wire between the HO ALT and the Batt. So can anybody help me find out if i put a fuse there that is equal to my HO ALTS rating? Say i put in a 220 amp alt...... Do i put in a fuse that is rated at 220 amps on that wire??

No. The fuse depends on the carrying capacity of the wire. I wouldn't even bother fusing the alternator to battery though.

I believe i read on the12volt, you should. If you dont and your batt tried to over power your alt, that fuse will break instead of your ho alt failing.
