so I am sure this may have been part of the tps dropping out and apparently either the nut backed off or the fox pulley I had was over spinning it because now with the vortech we are back to regular pulleys so now I am getting. a new one maybe Monday I'll throw it in I don't even want to look at the car right now I knew i smelt something I kept checking and I finally got under the car
your not kidding considering half the blower has to be moved the get it out from the two brackets .Ouch
lol this one could've been my fault i am not sure just happy I keep and extinguisher and nothing happenedIt must be something with super chargers breaking alternators. What do you think nick? @84Ttop
Hey bud sorry this week turned out to be madness lol Was jammed up finishing a couple big projects that I wanted to button up by end of week- We should be good for this week coming up to get you dialed in give me a shout monday@11 and well lock it all in , thanks for your patience I owe ya a taco when ya come!After playing phone tag and all this I finally caught up with Kris @ all out and we may be getting something together as far as tuning this thing ASAP waiting on a call back today or tomorrow @84Ttop @93TRANSAM
That alt looks like a loose connection or the wire is too small gauge, dont sweat it luckily nothing major just replace with good 8 gauge minimum (4gauge even better and what I would run) and make sure nut is tight (and not stripped on the inside and freespinning in the case)

thanks brother I feel it backed out as well it's a 4ga with a big fuse in it that I bought as a kit over a year ago it was in the car for a while with no issues before - I have the alt I just need to tear it down and swap it .
I should be able to get to yours, foxmustanglvr, and @MY 85 GT s valve covers in the next week or so. I'm putting my car back together tomorrow and the GTO is out of my garage as well. I'll inbox both of you guys in the next few days
Ahem, edited.
well boys the alt is in with the right size water pump pulley . instead of playing games with belts I measured this one out and got a belt for it I have to just change the terminal on the alt wire and blower belt back on and well be up and running I think should be later today if not tomorrow .

Just spoke to @93TRANSAM and we are locked in for Saturday morning !
Woo Hoo! I'm excited to see what this makes.
So I crimped a new end on the alt took the car out and had the tps flip out again . upon further investigation I find that the aluminum stripped out and it's the TPS is walking around on the tb so that explains it . I swapped the ring off my old 70mm bbk and no more issue .
pretty humid out so far the car hasn't seen anything over 190 with the new pulley on it
