Got fed up with the squareback alt
So I finally got fed up with the squareback alternator and decided to see if I could get a newer style alternator put in. So I picked up a 120 amp alt for a 93 Dakota and with a little bracket fabbing, was able to get this installed. I also had to do some surgery on the output stud, as it was too long and poked right into the head=dead short. So I had to shorten that a bit for clearance.
This might not work for everyone as I have the March Performance pulley setup. I'm pretty happy with it, since I get about 14.2 volts while idling with the headlights on, and my electric fans going. Before I was seeing about 13 volts. I just need to pick up a slightly shorter serpentine belt to make it all perfect.
Just thought I'd share.
