worked on the truck today
Today i did alot of work on the truck,new water pump ,new fan w/clutch,new hoses and t- stat,new shroud,new fuel pump and lines,new plug wires and plugs,cs- 130 alternator conversion.i thought it came out pretty good.what a huge difference that alt conversion makes,i had a 63 amp in there before and would barely kick out 14 volts running down the road,this new one and the rewire really cranks,i bought the kit from mad electrical plus a few extra terminal blocks and some other odds and ends.i been accumalating alot of these parts for about 6 or 8 months but today was finally the day.lol,the mad kit by itself is a pretty good kit but anyone whos,thinking about it should at least get an extra terminal block and add it to the kit and maybe some extra wire,when i was done i checked voltage at 4 locations and was 14.5 at all locations at idle!!!!! tooo cool.used to be on a rainy day with defroster,wipers,lights on it was around 11 volts.
all in all i am pretty happy with the results, heres a couple of pics

Re: worked on the truck today
Nice clean and new looking motor u got there. One suggestion though...why don't you use some kind of wire loom to hide some of the wires so they don't stand out so much and take the attention from your nice looking motor. Just my .02 no offense.

Re: worked on the truck today
Looks very nice - definitely nice to have a more powerful alternator.
