Quite possibly.

Also, you need a good heavy wire that connects the alt to the battery system. On my Powmaster 140 amp one wire, I have connection to the black wire that is part of the original loom, and an extra tie in to the + battery side of the starter solenoid. This is not necessary to get the alternator to charge the system, but more insurance that a high current draw won't overwhelm the charging wire when the fans and AC are running.
