Dual Alternators

Post by jsdieter »

Has anyone tried to run dual alternators? It looks like one could fit where the useless smog pump is sitting (all emissions stuff was removed by PO not sure why its still there). I would like to run some more electrical like better headlights, fog lights, stereo, ect. Would this also take a noticeable amount of power from the engine.

Mark sells a 95 amp alternator conversion. Would be much easier than dual alternator

The problem are usual the cables and switches, not the alternator... better to use relais for better light...
