Keith, the battery connect to the starter lug through the normal battery cable. The ALT feed from from the Alt, along the fender, and then to the starter lug as part of the normal harness run. There is then a 10 ga feed that runs from the starter lug up to the VR can. Then intenally it run across the master fuse and out the other side of the VR can. Then it goes inside the car to main fuse box under the dash. From there is goes through all the various fused circuits. So yes, if the master fuse blows, headlight, ignition, horn, everything goes dead.

I am running a 3 wire ALT and the current sensing wire is tied to the fuse side of the VR can output. The one turn on wire runs though the GEN idiot light and is tied to the Ignition ON.

Here is a pic of the wire-harness with the VR Can cover removed. I am using the original terminals on the VR.
