Thank you very much!!! That helped me out a bunch I get the wiring now I'm going to be picking up some 0 gauge wire the mega fuse and holder and some extra wiring for the yellow wire... I ordered a harness off line the one out in the feild has been chewed on by mice it seems.

Ok cool I was reading about having to re clock it, which I've done before. Another issue with my 3G is there's a bolt bulge on the back of the casing I might have to file down for clearance. Other then that I think it's good.

Yep the alt I pulled has an extra mount for the Taurus on the back side not sure if it will hit anything or not pretty simple to remove from the casing that's for sure.

You mean the thing that looks like a tumor? I don't think it will hit anything. Though you -might- have to notch your alt bracket to fit the 3g case. Just a little piece though.

Lol yeah that, and I think I will have to notch the bracket as well. I went a bit nuts and bought some nice red 0/4 gauge wire for under the hood as well as a nice inline mega fuse holder, might change that though. I want to be able to eventually just drop in a 200amp 3g alternator. So making sure everything can hold up to the extra amperage.

A few post online suggest o gauge wire, cannot argue it is the best but its a bit thick, so i think the 4 gauge should be fine for my 130amp upgrade, however when the 200amp goes in I will deff put in a o gauge charge wire.
Not sure I need the voltage meter but it is a good idea
