I replaced the alternator on a 1996 Hyundai Sonado
The ground connection that connects from the alternator to car is located in a different location on the replacement alternater. Therefore the wire is too short and will not reach anywhere on the car body. Any suggestions ? Is this ground really necessary ?

Im confused. You said extend it by using a gurney.
A gurney is a bed with wheels on it. Did you mean something else ?

Its a clamping device used in electrical instead of soldering the wire-you insert the wires and tighten it then seal with an electrical tape. Or just plainly splice into the wire
