Installing one wire alternator

Epilogue on the old AC Delco alternator. Found a very good local resource in form of a farm/home/auto store......they guy who runs it used to run an auto repair shop and still runs Mopar drag strip cars. He is well informed and store is well stocked. Not your usual auto parts store.

Took the old alternator in and he was not impressed. In addition to a redneck engineered mounting bracket, they had not wired the alternator right. It might have charged a bit, but as soon as engine shut down, was going to drain battery. We had rigged it to run thru a cutoff relay (went dead when ignition turned off), but still had the exiting wire, so may have bled battery dry thru the backdoor that way. Anyway, it was a bad design all the way around and glad to be rid of it.

Hoping the juice I get now was worth the squeeze.
