All done - works great.

80A alt is in and works great.

Output wire reaches terminal block up by battery on a 83 300d, well away from turbo.

Had to bend wire at output on alt to clear ac line and added wire loom on all wire, wish I had hi-temp sleeve though.

Blue wire I made a adapter with a spade terminal to plug in stock wiring harness, a 3" piece of wire and a ring terminal to bolt to blue wire on 80A alt, as I didn't want to cut the stock wire, taped together.

I removed the stock alt wire at the term block, taped up and screwed in the new wire.

BTW whoever replaced the last alt didn't use the spacer for the top adj bolt, the old alt is still good. Made a spacer, replaced the bolts as the had 1/16-1/8 grooves worn in both of them - had spares.

Now have a spare alt in trunk, stock wiring will still work on.

Belts were tight to get on, had to bump starter, alt must be larger, as the belts were ez to get off old alt.

14.1v hot at idle.

I do need to add a larger wire from term block to battery, I"ll pickup hi-temp wiring sleeve then.

Sorry no pics.
