Bro I love your dashboard with the relays and the barrier strips. Very clean and accessable. Tons of room in that engine bay for a turbo setup, it's like therapy for me to look at it.

My next project will def either be an S10 or a Blazer. What I love about the blazer it all the people you can fit in it, and still go out and smoke *****

so after burning up one alt already i think i should ask some questions. im using a 1 wire 105 truck alt with Holley 1 wire adapter for the plug. i have it going to my Ron Francis and turns on when ignition is on. do i need a resistor or some thing inline or was it just a fluke it failed.
