Thank you to all that replied. It seems the consensus is that the battery and
starter cables I currently have on my BJ 8 are sufficiently sized to handle an
alternator.

> I am converting my 67 BJ8 to negative ground. Some suggest, as a fire safety
move, the cable from the alternator to the starter be larger than my stock
cable. My question: should the cable from the starter to the battery and from
the battery to ground also be upgraded? Ideally, what gauge should these be?
