As the subject says, I will be rewiring the charging system and relocating the battery to the passenger bin. What I want to be clear on is the rewire.

Tell me if this is the correct way or not:

Battery + to starter +
Battery - to chassis ground
Starter + to alternator post
Alternator post to power side of MAIN 100A fuse
Starter - to chassis ground

Also will be replacing important grounds; are there any others besides the one on top of the bellhousing to the firewall and the "main" engine ground from the driver's side of the engine to chassis?

Clear up anything I goofed on.

Thanks,
Jerry

I know this is a little off the topic but have you read anything on weight distribution. unless your going to place something else in its place you may be screwing with how your car handles.

as for the ground wires you could just buy an aftermarket ground wire kit and let the company that sells it to do all the home work about which ground wires need to be replaced

That uh..that was joke right?

sounds good. I got lazy and just cut off the stock battery post connection and ran the new wire and joined it to the stock starter and alt wires.

remember to add a fuse or fuse breaker on the + line close the battery. 200amp or so.

Glad you replied Scott. I've yet to go take measurements for a new box, because as you listed well on your page, all the premade boxes are too big. I don't suppose you have the measurements for your custom made box handy?

And nevermind, I just went and took the measurements I needed.

You might consider running a ground all the way from the battery to the starter also.
Yea, the body will carry the ground, but that copper wire can make the difference if anything else is not just right.
