I dont have pictures, but I removed the entire plastic cover and spray bombed the whole thing in a black high temp paint. Looks pretty good to me! If I remember tonight, I can snap a pic for ya.

I used a 140a truck alternator and removed the entire rear cover.

Is it safe to use the alternator without the rear cover? The battery stud
on mine is a little too close to the fuel rail fitting crossover

I did the same thing, tight to the fill neck but works fine.

Be careful removing the intake manifold if you have a metal one with a relocated alternator. Sparks will happen if you forget to disconnect the battery and having loose fuel rails with this makes for an exciting day.

My speed fuel rail is sitting where the alternator sits. I'm thinking of just getting some fittings and make it just go up? any other suggestions?
