Trying to figure out why Painless is wiring their system a specific way. This is their 'recommended way" to wire up the CS-130.

I'm not sure why they have the mega-fuse lead going to the starter and not direct to the battery. Also, both 915/916 wires are crimped. The drawing they show is not correct. Only one wire goes back to the main fuse box. I want to simplify it a bit though.

I need to add in a junction and was going to wire as follows:
* Run the 960 wire from the alternator over to junction block
* Run the 916 wire to the junction instead of fuse
* Run a new 8-10 gauge wire from the Maxi fuse to the junction block.

Is there a reason why they wired it like this? Doesn't make much sense to have 2 leads on the Maxi fuse..

It is going to the battery, only through the starter. 1972 and up chevelles are wired this way.

Where in the car is the junction block going to be?

About 1-2 ft from the battery.

It can be wired like your pic shows, wire the sense wire (if 3 wire alternator) to junction block.

Yep, I had it on the back of alternator but that's not right. Rerouting and fixing that one.
