Don't go cheap on alternator. It'll cost you more grief later. Since your car is old, you might find HO alternator for $150-$200. Well worth it. Instead of 65A, it'll be 175A-180A. There should be a thread in this section on alternator. Read up on it. It'll tell you what wires need upgrading etc. |
killerzracing Unregistered guest | Well as for the spare i need it its a driver not a showcar if something happens i use the spare i just replaced the radiator and actually the alternator come to think of it i bought it from napa just a replacement alt 30-60$ i think but can i run two alts one dedicated to the car and the HO alt to the sound system. Like ho alt to 2nd batt. then have every thing electronic wise to the 2nd batt. and can i just get one from a big truck and stick in there? |
