alternator

so i know some people use a chevy alternator... but i was wondering out of what kind of chev?
and are there any other options other then the chev alternator??
and how do you mount the chev one is there special brackets?

come on guys i really need help with this
my stock alternator is on its way out
and i dont wanna waste my money on a new stock one
that doesnt even have enough power for my system and hid kit

its just a chev 350 one, i got mine on ebay, a chrome one with 110 amp for 69$, no special brackets, it bolts right in to to the stock bracket, just flip it upside down

Did ya run a 3 wire or single wire tyler?
I found a few different ones on ebay, found a 140 amp +, what do we need to run a killer stereo and air system etc? i was gonna use my optima and add a capacitor, what ya'll think?

the one i run i got from mechman alternators. 280 amps buddy mechman.com is there website. thats a big enough alty to run a system and hid kit and what ever else you need. but i always recommend adding another battery to vehicles with larger systems.

here is a pic of my old 250 amp alty from mechman......

next to the stock one lol.



installed.(tight fit)



i used this alternator and 3 group 31 batteries with roughly 16000 watts of clamped power in my competition truck.

so single wire?

yeah man, you have a ground wire and then the hot wire. that is all. very easy to install. i have the exact same alternator that tyler has on my 83. works like a champ. just gotta do like tyler said and install it upside down.

Tyler, truck is looking freakin sick bro.

im also looking to get a chevy alternator i have an 86 b2000 so a 110 amp like tylers will work?

yep
