I am using a rebel wire harness on my t-bucket and decided to use a one wire alternator (basic gm one wire conversion). I noticed when i was cranking it the alternator was getting hot. Is this heat normal? I am running a 8 guage wire to the starter stud from the rear lug on the alternator; then, a seperate wire from the positive post on the battery to the starter center lug. The heat is a bit un-nerving and not sure it is good for the alt. FWIW its hooked up exactly per the rebel instructions. I plan on calling rebel on Monday. Thanks for any help.
