xt6 alt.swap


Recommended Posts

I need a new alt. on my 83 and after reading about the xt6 swap in the repair manual it sound like a good idea. (im planning on putting in a extra deep cycle battery to run lights sterio ects..) Is thier in difference in the xt6 alts through out the years, is one year better/cheeper then others.

Thanks

well I recently installed a xt turbo alt. looks like the xt6 unit just lower amps.

 

all i used was a small piece of flat bar with two holes drilled in it. used the stock alt bolt at the factory bracket with a nut on the back side. used a slightly longer bolt thru the bar into the alt. worked well.

only one tip. when drilling the holes in the flat bar make them a little wider apart than you think they need to be and it will still work. to close together and your S.O.L.
