86 22re alternator question

I'm doing a 7mge swap and swapped the battery to the drivers side. My computer crashed and I lost all of my tear down pics. I want to make sure where the white 8 gauge wire goes. I believe its from the fuse box then to a bracket with a terminal (near the check plug), then to the alternator. Could you post a pic of the drivers side wheel well, or just confirm this for me? Thanks for the help! I'm running 4 gauge welding cable now and want to get it right the first time

Lol, no problem about the mess. I'm trying to get my wiring as clean as possible and I had to cut probably 20-30 feet min of alarm wiring that was just shoved behind the kick panel. I'm wondering where that wire goes from the 'L bracket' thing with a single threaded terminal on it. On mine there was just 1 single white 8 gauge wire that goes to that L bracket then I THINK it goes to the terminal on the atlernator. I just want to be 100% on this before I start soldering, taping and looming everything. Thanks bleeder! How's the rig?

Ok. Well I've gone ahead and spliced the 2 smaller 10 gauge wires from the fuse box into the new 4 gauge alternator wire. Now, near the air filter box on the drivers side there are 2 connectors on the same group of thicker gauge wires. On the 'end' of those wires it pluge into the 'end' of the wires that come from the fusebox. The other connector is in-line and around 4" down the line from the end. What does thos go to? It looks like it would connect to something up the drivers side fenderwell. Please help!!! My stupid computer crashed and I lots all of these pics telling me what goes where.

That's how the alt charges the battery. It goes from the alt, into the fusebox, through a rather large fuse (80A I think), to the battery terminal.
