I have a 71 351w carbd in a 93 lx. The alt went bad and I am considering just switching to a 1 wire alt. I recently bought a 1 wire alt off summit by Tuff Stuff. This alt is 1/4" wider than the original I had on. The post off the back of the alt is touching the block. The original alt was pretty close to the block but was not hitting. If I get any brackets that move the new 1 wire alt away from the block the alt pully wont line up with the water pump pully.
Right now the old alt is bolted the passenger side head, and the arched bracket from the water pump to the bottom of the alt. The setup now work perfect but the alt and voltage reg are not working....I will try to get some pictures later tonight of the setup.
If you have a 351w setup what is your alt setup like? what brackets? pics? Anyone running a carbed 351W with a 1 wire alt setup, alt part # or link? I'm not good at wiring so a 1 wire alt would be preferred. Also not looking to spend more than $150 for an alt. Looking for around 100amp alt.
I am planning on returning the new alt and getting another one that will for sure fit, so if you have some part #'s for brackets and alts those would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help!
