Finishing up the alternator swap.

This part was easier than I thought it would be.


1. Here is the original alternator.
  
2. Removed from the brakcet, ready for the new alternator.

3. The plugs on the new alternator are turned the wrong way, so I have to clock it.
  
4. New and old for comparison.

5. Here is what the case looks like with the cover off.
  
6. Now, it is clocked correctly.

7. Here are the old plugs.
  
8. I opened up the harness to take out the old charge wires what I am not using anymore.

9. Under the battery tray.
  
10. This little wire is what used to carry all the power from the alternator.

11. The new alternator in place.
  
12. Under the battery tray with the harness wrapped back up.

13. Not a great picture, but this is where the megafuse will be mounted.
  
14. The new wiring hooked up to the alternator.

15. Wire on left is from alternator, on right is out to the battery.
  
16. Here is the 175 amp fuse.

17. It all hooks up at the starter solenoid.

All in all, not a hard upgrade.
