Or any other battery for that matter. Ive had cheap ones last forever, and good ones last not so long. lol
Just remember to upgrade the heavy wire that goes to the starter solenoid if you upgrade the alternator. The original wire that was designed around a 42 amp alternator isn't exactly going to be a happy camper when he gets 100+ amps put to it. Not that it'll charge that much all the time, but it's always a good idea to upgrade the wiring if you upgrade the alternator.
my alt. guy made the same suggestion and then made me up the wire to use and throwed it in with the alt...frank...
I called NAPA today. They have what I need. $93.00 is the right price for me. I love this forum. Thanks for recommending NAPA, this saves me money for the other stuff thats going on the car.
check and see if it takes an "exciter wire" ( you need the plug) some do, some don't. mine did but the conversion one wire i did this morning didn't. you should be able to get the plug from napa also...frank...
I went to NAPA this weekend to get the new alternator. It was way bigger than what I have & the guy there said it will not bolt right in. He said that I need a small case alt. & the 90/100 amp is a big case alt. Plus the wire will not hook right up either. Is this right? If so how do you put a big one on, I'm thinking by changing the brackets but I have no clue.
