I would hafta see it to know what you're talking about. Let me know if you want some help. Any reason why you're going to such a high amperage alt?

its a 3g

its to power my electic fan , subs down the road, and to counter underdrive pulleys

not to mention reducing a fire hazard

Sounds good, if I saw it person I could tell you what needs to be done.

acourding to the tech article all it needs to go in is a grinder and a new wire from the alt to the battary

I put one of these in my 90lx, it really is not all that difficult. You will have to grind down a decent amount but it's nothing a little common sense won't tell you while you are doing it. It won't physically fit if you don't grind enough. As for the wiring, I would reccomend running a new wire since the stock wiring was not designed for the 130amps.

I does work well, even with the underdrives I no longer have any lighting or charging issues . I run 2 electric fans, Mallory ignition box which takes up some juice.

Well if you need anything grinded down. The jew ninja over here is the dremel master lol.

I have a grinder and stuff Tom if you want to do it here.

what would you recomend for a new wire?

should i go glep one of a 94-95 in the junk yard?

Go to a parts store and get one, I got a 2GA wire to re-route my starter wire and it only cost me like 6 bux. Just get the length and size. How big of a wire do you need? I have a bunch kicking around.

shouldent be much.

alt and battary is only so far apart

is 2ga wire capable of takeing the 130 amps?

It should be... Its the size of a nickle lol

i guess its time to get to work then

whos down?

So you pick the weekend I'm not in town lol

knowing my luck ill break something and youll be back in time to see me burn the car to the ground in a rage of anger

I'll be back sunday if you can wait a day.

i got plenty to keep me ocupied untill then

Alright cool, PM me your # and I'll shoot you a call sunday.

alright iam mounting the altinator right now

gonna need help wireing soon if theres any volenters

Bring it up here and we can do it.

i would have to drive it on battery power

alts mounted and after the third atemp on belt size i think i got it

so the list to do is

- wire in new wire to the batt from the alt

- remove the tubeing to the cats and weld or cap shut

- wait for my fricken fan to show up which is very late
wire it in with the kit

plug the back of the heads

drive it a few days

then start the intake and rearend work

the website I posted should have the wiring diagram

do you think its nessisary for the fuse?

The OEM setup has a fusible link in the harness...

When I did my 200 amp in my Cougar, I put a fuse.

I have a fusible link here if you need it. I would use one of its supposed to have one.

I get out of work around 2 tomorrow. I'll grab the jewish ninja and we can bust that out? That is if your available.

Do you have one rated for 150 amps?

Idk it was inline on another car.

yea i have no problem with that

my ebay fan still isent here tho!

ok the projects winding down here

should i reuse the stock single point injectors?

or should i take a trip to sam's and take some mulitpoints from a explorer?

Did you swap the intake?

its out now

putting the new one on tommaro
