I just got my new alternator from Summit. I ordered it yesterday and it came today.

I also got the 10 gage wire to run from the starter to the alternator.

Now I am realllllly wanting some warm weather.

I ordered a new Dewitt radiator and dual fan kit just for some more fun.

I plan on converting to a voltage gauge.

That'll work!

It should also take away a major fire hazzard, since the amp gauge in these old turds has been known to be the starting place for fires, if it happens to short out...
