It has one battery in the stock location AND I installed an extra one in the trunk.
To save the hassles of venting I chose a dry cell. It's also small for it's power and can be mounted any way except upside down.

I will take some pics of the install tomorrow.

Which area of Ontario are you in?

I am running a cs130 GM alternator rated at 105 amps. It is off a late 80s early 90s gm (Cadilac 5.0L Fleetwood Brougham/ Caprice/ Pontiac Safari Wagon ....) It is internally regulated.

I found the info on Moparts (maybe the Tech Archives?) It is suppose to be a direct bolt in for non A/C big blocks, not sure on small blocks(mine has A/C). It needed 100 ohm 1 watt resistor in the field wire to the alt to be a dummy alt idiot light since Mopars don't use them on the dash.

It has 14.4 volts at idol!!! An 8 gauge charge back wire must be run to the post on the starter solenoid or it will cause an electrical fire to the bulkhead and dash wiring!!

Sure looks like it would bolt on to a SB with the right spacer. Also looks like the housing could be re-clocked if the output stud is too close to the block.


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
