Did it get impounded from parking on the curb?

 

Lol, Lurry said the same thing. That is the back lot where I work, rough neighborhood.

 

Who? He must be a new member.

 

Yea he is a newb, hardly wheels his waxed up mall crawler

 

Which is still more and better than j00 photoshopping ass

 

Sick build!

 

Thanks!

 

I know I've already asked you this but do you mind telling/showing me how you did your alternator swap? I still need to get a battery. I've been lazy this winter. I did get some 33x12.50's though.

 

quit with yer laziness

 

I have been lazy as shit too . I'll dig through my pics and try to remember everything involved with alt. swap.

 

Here is the write up I followed for splicing the wires;

This is the easy part. I got the pigtail plug from napa, then ran 8 gauge directly to the battery. I taped up the stock cable from the alternator, but the stock cable from the fuse box to the battery is still hooked up. Hope that makes sense.

 

Here is the top side of my alternator with the spliced wires taped up.


Now the fun part!!!

You will most likely need to remove the fan/clutch and pulley to reach the upper mounting bracket's bolt above the water pump. Here it is tucked in behind the belts nice and tight;


Yea, it's in there somewhere.

The lower bracket is mounted along with the motor mount and lower coolant hose retainer. I didn't have much trouble swapping these out but it is a bit tight in there. I did not unhook the hose.

 

Sweet thanks. I forgot I need a fuse box too.

 

I was referring to the stock fuse block behind the battery. This stays hooked up to the battery, but the stock charge cable from the alternator to the battery is no longer used. The 8 gauge wire feeds the battery now.

I have a blue sea fuse block for my accessories mounted behind the stock fuse block.

 

Pics of it stripped down?

 

Not ready for that yet.

 

What up broham.. How's life?

 

Can't complain, but I did have a pinched nerve in my neck for a few weeks which sucked! It's fine now. I need to clean up the backyard so I can get the '87 back there and cut up.
