I'm 99.999% sure that's a one wire, but that's not really the answer. The question is: do I need a bigger alternator? Calculating out power needs (although making an assumption on the subwoofer and amp), I think I need something in the 150+ range. I'm making the assumption that the stereo...

I was going to go out and mess with it but just realized the time. I get to hop a 0530 flight tomorrow, so need to get packing and get ready for a stupidly early departure. Keep sending over the ideas though, and thank you! :thumbsup:

It is an aftermarket gauge: Autometer ultralight, 8 - 18 VDC.

Yellow wire coming off the alternator (right side in that pic) goes to the horn relay up front.

Green arrow/connector leads into the alt. I assumed that goes to the VR, but clearly don't know for sure. Here's the other one that I thought it was, which is internally regulated: Powermaster 575191 Powermaster Street Alternators | Summit Racing

Let me add on to my last post (#5): I know that a lower amp alt than the power needs won't necessarily kill a VR, but there was something odd that happened that might shed some light on this. I recently got a new phone - only because my old one was so old that some apps wouldn't run on it...

There sir is the $1M question. I *think* it's a 57519, 95A alt. The back looks identical. Which, if that's the case, I believe would likely explain why the VR went out - not enough juice. Powermaster 57519 Powermaster Street Alternators | Summit Racing

This is a one wire, internally regulated alt. It is grounded to the car, with a wire also going to the horn relay. In pic alt.1, you can see the black wire on the left leading downwards; that's the ground wire. In pic alt.2, you can clearly see the wire grounded to the car. The yellow wire...

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've posted. For those of you who were following my overheating issue, I do believe I've resolved it with new stainless (solid, not braided) fuel lines and multiple layers of insulation, as well as a new coil which seemed to have made a huge difference...

Hello everyone- remember me? Yes, still working on this car and all of life’s little issues that have been thrown at me recently. For those of you who’ve been following along, I’m finally back to working on this and am hopeful to have it up and running asap. If f you recall, on top of the...

No sir, not in west Texas!!

Yeah, I had thought about that and figured as much. The one thing that car does not need is heat, but I'd still like to put it together properly.

I'm in 100% agreement, but for now I'll have to loop them and cap it off at the firewall. I just found out that my significant other is going to be transferred to Houston and I'm in the middle of a full blown renovation of a house that we'll now likely never move into, plus work travel...

Sweet, that’s perfect. Thanks for the quick reply!

Evening everyone. I was hoping someone could tell me the purpose of these coolant hoses. Why do they run into the firewall? Can they be capped off on the engine? Mine apparently are leaking into the car’s cabin.
