Doesn't look like yours is clocked right, the plugs will be in the wrong spots and hit the supercharger. You'll have to reclock it from the looks of it. Should be easy though. The ground is the bolt hole on the right hand side of your picture.

The longest ear is this is pointed down, see where all the plugs and such are situated? Your pic makes it look like it isn't clocked right. It's easy to fix though. The 5\16" bolts (4 of them) get taken out, crack the case loose, turn the front\back of the case to the new position, put screws back in. Don't separate the case too much though, the brushes will fall out. You can fix it if that happens with a toothpick, it's just a little more work. If you want I can show you.
Thanks for the pic. I'll use that when I put it back together. I want to take it apart anyways to clean it and either paint or polish. Your rebuild thread I think shows all I need if I do that. Still need to get the harness I forgot and some 1/0 wire.
I was going to link that post, lol. Funny thing is that post is originally from this thread, lol. It's all VERY easy to do, just make sure you put that capacitor in right, like the pictures show. You upgrading to 200a while you are in there? It's just a new stator and bridge rectifier, should be pretty cheap to do.
Did you link the parts I need if I upgrade? Can't remember. I'm more interested in having just steady good amps at idle. I don't have a gnarly stereo (stock) or 900 relays like some of the crazies here lol.
Honestly only reason I'm doing this is because of the way you hyped it up and its cheap upgrade. Feel like I'm missing utopia with the way you sold it. :th_biggrin2:
Who would that be? lol.
I didn't have a problem with this guy's stator, but I did with his bridge rectifier. I can't find anywhere else that sells the 200a stator:

Bridge rectifier:

I notice all the little things when I drive a car. How bright the lights are, I listen to the blower motor so I can tell when the alternator isn't keeping up, **** like that. I guess I have OCD OCD OCD. Anyways, just like when I upgraded the truck to a 3G alternator, it totally changed the way the vehicle felt.
What would be the benefit of upgrading the BR but not the stator? Anything?
A lot more heavy duty, more reliable and such. Output might go up a bit, but nothing drastic. If you can solder you can upgrade the voltage regulator to a heavy duty one too. It was under $10 IIRC. Literally the only thing soldered on the alternator.
Cool. Well then tell me wth is up with a DUAL rectifier? Just seen a 144 on eBay with what looks like a 2nd rectifier stuck to the rear of the case.
Never mind, should have read. Basically makes it more durable and twice as efficient at converting ac-dc.
Think it would definitely hit the blower though.
It would hit for sure. This winter (when it's too cold to do anything to the car itself) I'll finish up an external rectifier, that will have 2 more in it. It won't produce more power, but it'll be cleaner power and the diodes in the rectifiers will last a lot longer.
That's for sure and since you have 2 bridge rectifiers in parallel your voltage drop across the doides goes from .7V to .35V so current output is the same but less heating of the rectifier and more peak current because of less resistance between the stator and the system.

It's not that high on my priority list really since I have bigger project to finish before then like the rocker panels. Today I ripped the interior out to clean some stuff up and put 2 rolls of peel n seal down.

Back to work!
Good lord I hope it isn't as hot here as there.
Definitely interested in your impressions of the PnS. Planned on doing it after I gut interior for body work.
I noticed a pretty good difference, and never got a smell. I have 8 rolls (I think) in it. Might be 7. Anyways, I have the trunk lid, trunk\quarters (not wheel wells yet), floor, outer door skin, and inner door skin covered. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN with alcohol and use a roller or wooden spoon or wine bottle to help for installs. I should have gotten 3 rolls for the floor pan, 2 isn't quite enough for total coverage. I will eventually do the rear wheel wells once I get the passenger side strut tower welded up like the driver. Then I'll coat them both in rust inhibitor (already have it) and spray some underbody coating on it, then peel n seal, then install the 15 feet of trunk LEDs I have, lol.
Weather is beautiful today, maybe got up to 80*F if that with a nice wind. That's why I've been outside working all day. I did all kinds of little things like reroute and solder the passenger heated seat harness, clean all the connections, etc. My wife is cleaning and laying the PnS while I'm doing the wiring and my boy is the moral support. She caught up to me on the driver side so I'm waiting for her to finish the PnS. This'll put me at 87.5 sq ft of sound deadening, lol.
