zerothread?id=136906^ That might help, he uses a circuit breaker to connect the factory wires and your new power wire.

I just cut the factory connection off and soldered the new wire to the factory one. A regular soldering iron wont work you need one of those big ones (which I didn't have). So I twisted the two wires together and used a propane torch to heat it up enough and used a lot of solder to make sure there was a good connection.

ok thanks both of u.. just wondering.. not sure how to do it but no got a good clue thanks!

Yeah good luck. Look up some battery relocation topics if ur still unsure. Also, make sure you keep the ground that goes from the manifold, to body, to the battery. I threw mine away and it caused the battery to get really low and not start properly. I ended up just making my own shorter ground to keep it clean.
