RE: [BaadAssGremlins] Alt light

Dave since it appears that you have a 304 V8 there is one important
question to be answered by you. Do you have A/C? Kennedy American sells
a bracket kit for the Delco installation but the  Delco is larger than
the Motorola and if you have A/C the Delco will not fit. This was as of
3 years ago when I did my son's 72 Javelin 360 V8. Kennedy may have had
a kit made for the Delco installation in a V8 A/C car since then. A
friend of my son's father ran a ignition shop and the Motorola he
rebuilt for my son lasted a week. This was a custom built special 65 amp
one, the stock ones are a puny 35 amps. He re-did it and it works fine
now. But since the car has no A/C we  have a Delco and the bracket kit
on hand to replace the Motorola if it goes. I put a 100 amp Delco in my
6 cyl. Orange Hornet and it too was a pain due to clearance problems.

The Motorola Gods have hexed you. All tests show it is good but the

Thanks Doc.  Is there anything else that needs to be changed or just a
simple swap of the alternator?  I wanted to put in a higher amperage unit
anyway (to accomodate an electric fan) and so this isn't all bad news.
