Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Posted August 14, 2013 So Tenney was looking like my only option for an alt, it then Mechman pulled through. Ordered a 320A this morning. Then just 40 minutes ago, singer emails me back and now he makes his own too but the mechman is still the biggest alt.Also made a small video today. UBL | Build Log
Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Posted August 14, 2013 After tearing into the engine bay a bit, I found out I would have to remove the mounting bolts on the engine and jack the engine up to even get to the tensioner. Uuuuh..... Fuck that. So I dropped the car off this morning to get the alt put in while I work on getting my big 3 wires ready. Had them measured out and cut last night while I had the car.

Lbox88 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Posted August 14, 2013 soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, getting this done on the weekend was a bad idea lol. Was gone all day yesterday, and while home I was preparing for family today. Then today came along, ate way too much and had people here the whole day so that was shot too. Glued down 2 of the small side parts and calling it a night, hope it dries well overnight. Need to pick up some more spray glue and maybe some insulation so I can try to insulate my garage door maybe. UBL | Build Log
