well i went and done it

i robbed a old 70 amp gm alternator from a car in my grandma's field

made up a slightly over kill mount for it

and well i got juice!!!

witht he heater on and the lights nothing dims even when i am at a idle yay

best of all unlike the sube alt this one works!

what did you rob it from?

got more pics?

how do you adjust belt tension?

it was off a old oldsmobile

sorry i should have elaborated a bit more

 

i am using the lower half of a stock sube alternator mount

i built/welded the shiny custom upper arms

so it basically adjusts just like the stock alternator would

 

i used a 3-4 inch section of 1/8" l-bracket metal as the base

and the 2 upper arms and cross brace to the intake are made of 1/4 " x 2" flat stock i think

yeah i got a few more pics

just no where to put em

 

oh i also got rid of the air conditioner junk

and am only running one belt for the power steering and water pump and alternator

i need to put the small tensioner puley back on for the a/c and get a shorter belt

it doesn't seem to need it but.. it would make me feel better

How did U wire it in?

on a hunch wire for wire

small wire on plug to small wire on suby alt big wire on plug to big wire on suby plug

and regular alt charge line

gonna change that over to a bigger direct line to the battery

well after about 250 miles or so on a last trip to seattle

at 3500-4500 rpm most of the way no problems so i guess its a good mount
