Finished the 1 wire alternator install. I needed an alternator belt one inch longer due to the larger case hitting the water pump. This prevented using the last inch of the adjustment bracket. I did not get the right belt so I just wedged the original sized belt on as far as it would go and bumped the engine over causing the belt to fall into place. I have about 1/4 adjustment so the belt was hard to get on but not too tight.
I am getting a lot of alternator whine in the stereo now. I had a slight amount with the factory alternator but the 1 wire is causing a lot of whine. I have my battery in the trunk and use a bulkhead fitting on the firewall for common power point in the engine bay. Constant is connected to the bulkhead but ignition is through the original wiring. I will order a noise filter.
Finished up the dash pad and layed it in place. I will have to paint the original cushion as I can see a red line where the new cover does not cover the old pad completely. I will also have to get a dash speaker. It's empty I can see the back of the red dash through the now black speaker grill.
The roof looks so much better now that I have the t top trim on. I don't think I want the newer felt that deletes the aluminum trim anymore.
Very satisfied with the SEM trim black paint on the dash cap panel. I have not driven it yet but it looks great and being matte finish shouldn't have a glare.
I cannot wear my regular gym shoes in the car now. They are too wide. I used the 80mil Noico on the tunnel and the Mass Backed Carpet. This raised my floor a little over an inch and the tunnel is about 3/4' wider. My shoe hangs up on the brake pedal when applying throttle. I may remove the brake pedal some day and try to bend it to give me a little more room.
