First thread started out badass, then photobucket fail.....

Second one was good. I think that's a pretty good mod that often times get's neglected.

sjsingle1, appreciate you running down those threads.

I've been enlightened

Default Alternator ****....Pt 2

finally got that monster alt in the car today.....was a little different than the other AD244 I had in there.......the stator was a little wider causing a little interference with the power steering return line......i had to tweak the line toward the ground to fit......i found out there are 2 different size pulleys and i must have got the larger of the 2......the belt is a little to tight for my tastes and i will get a longer 1 tomorrow......i switched out the 150 amp fuse for a 200 amp fuse.......the wire for the computer was a little tight......good thing thing i made it long for the other AD244.......i dont know what it is.....but the car now seems to love having the extra amps.... for the computer.......coils.......a/c...lights.....the dummy gauge stays at a rock solid 13.5 volts......its a must have in my book.......GET 1 TODAY

Definately on my to do list now. sjsingle1, thanks for the rest of the pics. We have plenty of welding shops around here, so I think that's the route I'll be taking.
