Default kelley swipe battery upgrade issues

ok trying to figure this out. i have kelley's kit with 4 gauge wires for my 89 renix xj 4.0L. i have to give over this with all of u as I'm having prob hooking it up. ok so from b- post i go to the engine block, another wire from cly head to fire wall and from threaded hole on bcd of alt back to B- post? correct?

B+ to starter,
B+ to some relay looking thing next to the battery
this is my issuer i bought his kit with the ANL fuse block. do i go from the alternator power to the ANL fuse block to B+?

originally the alternator went to that relay looking thing next to the battery that is where my issues r and i hope people understand me lol if someone can draw this out or tell me that be great as i got to go to work tomorrow haha

Just put it back the way you took it off. The wire should go from alternator to ANL Fuse to the "relay thing". If I'm understanding you correctly.
As far as the ground from alternator case to the battery negative I'm not sure.

Got it running and it's great voltage dosnt drop nothing. I didn't do the wire from the head to the firewall because I plan on doing the cyl head in a few months and I don't wanna take the nut off and put it back on I want a new set so it's on properly. Anyone think that will a prob if I wait to do that one wire?

Yes, yes, it is, Ken. That's the very best kind of goodly thing you can do for your Jeep! You'll probably get at least 10 HP out of that, and pick up 7-8 MPG, on average, and you tires will hold air longer too.
