BobbyK, thanks for helping us all out of our respective electrical nightmares. Don't suppose you have a line diagram of where all the connections are made for this upgrade do you. Minus the other stuff you have added that is. I don't have one of those battery minders like yours. I just have the old amp guage.
Thanks, Jeff.

Jeff a couple things---
The alternator came out of a 94-96 Caprice 9C1 police car. It is a CS144 and it is 140 amp...not all 9C1's got this so you should be aware. Taxi Cab lot is probably the best place to find one---they may give it to you---parts are inexpensive to rebuild....great info is available at the link below.
You can use the V belt pulley of the old alt but you must use the fan that came with the CS144---it's fits.
Also when this is done I am going to draw out a little diagram and info on how to do this the simple way.
