Warning, lots of pictures!

This is what I did...

Sorry about how big these are... if you would like to see them regularly sized please see all of "Andy's alt wiring" pictures located at www.pgmfi.org/~firepyroandy


This is the 120 amp bosch alternator I modified to fit my car.



This is how lucky I got... I had to get larger belts, but I was lucky that they didn't rub on the adjustment bracket.



Another shot of the alternator installed... shown are the 'spacers' (aka lots of washers)



This is me holding the main part of what I had to remove from the alternator.



Close-up of 'spacers'



New Battery terminals and new power wire... The grounding wire will be replaced with 1/0 gauge when I buy the right connectors.



Another shot of the wiring... also shows terminal block and hard start relay (explained below)



This is a close-up of the hard start relay and associated wiring. This relay just takes the load off of the ignition wiring. Also you can see the 1/0 gauge wire going down to the starter going where the stock wiring used to be. (through grommets.)



Crappy picture of 4 ga. connection at alternator, and grounding strap connection just behind it.



Better picture (from under car) of alternator connection.

continued...
