Alternator



Jason,

Email me and I'll tell you where to get an nicely overhauled GM 125 
amp alternator for $30 with free shipping. It'll bolt right on with 
no modifications but I suggest one minor mod for perfect belt 
alignment. You'll also need to go out and buy a universal bracket at 
any auto store. 

No matter what you get, install a 100 amp fusible link at the 
alternator. I suggest you also open your main harness in the relay 
compartment (or remove the backboard) and fuse the brown/red and 
brown/blue wires for 10 amps. These are hot feeds to the headlight 
switch control circuit and ignition switch and are an electrical fire 
waiting to happen.

The car's tendency to fuse well away from the source or not fuse at 
all in some cases is bad electrcial design. In addition, running the 
main feed through the engine harness without any overcurrent 
protection was a dangerous mistake.
