89Suburbsn - tomorrow I will go get some nice large gauge wire and rewire the alernator the way you suggest. I will also replace the negative wire of the battery with a beefier one. Again, thanks to everybody for all the help.

I removed a ton of rotten insulation material from under the carpet... Do you know where I can buy some to replace it? What do you even call that stuff??

The original stuff is called Broom Mat... http://www.eastwood.com/dei-under-c...la&utm_medium=Merchant-Centre&SRCCODE=1SE1532

A lot of folks use a more modern material called HushMat http://hushmat.com/?gclid=COafktn6y8ICFataMgod10EAtw

There are several other types/brands of products on the market.

P.S... glad you found a temporary fix for the electrical problem. Don't leave it temporary for too long :)

The carpet underlay material is called "jute".

If you plan on stripping all the old stuff out, it would be wise to try to salvage the catalytic converter insulation pads - white material in clear plastic bags - if you have them.
