Guest Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 I found a good place in Dallas for upgraded alternators. (Place called AlterStart.) They take Delco bodies and rewind and rebrush them to make 135 amps. Shipped to me for $106, including a new 2ga lead to red batt. These alternators are self-regulating and self-exiting, and fit exactly like stock ones. Nice polished case, new fan and pulley. I haven't made all the upgrades that will eventually draw down the current, but I should be covered! If anybody is interested, I'll look up the phone number and website (don't have it handy).
Guest Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Hey Hey Red I woukd like that web address I am a long way from doing any of that yet but I want to know were to get the best price Dave ------------------
Guest Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Datadave, here is the stuff on that alternator place: Alterstart Systems, Inc. 4919 W. Davis St. Dallas, TX 214-330-5900 Attn. Bill 4alterstart@aol.com It is very easy to convert to the one-wire, higher amperage alternator. I would go ahead and do it!
Guest Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Hey Hey Red thanks for the address it will help when I am ready Dave ------------------
