I think there's a couple different directions going around. In one it mentions a bolt included and the both you're talking about. Mine had neither one. Then I swear I saw somewhere it was said the boss was eliminated for whatever reason.

Anyway, I connected that black wire you're talking about to the top alternator bolt. Then I ran it to the second ground on the core support. I didn't want a whole bunch of wires on the battery posts. Seems to be working so far.

I agree it's confusing.

No long bolt was supplied either.


I connected from battery to driver frame rail were the clutch cable support and engine block ground connect....

Top bolt on Alt. It just needs a good ground on the block or something bolted to it.

The boss is the flange that the bolt goes through on the mounting of the alternator. Instructions are clear, just gotta know the lingo. Good luck! You’re going to love it.

I did the same, I just drilled a hole in the frame and tapped it for an M6 bolt.

Thank you for this post and the people that commented. You all helped me install my J2Fab alt.
