OK I ordered everything last night to upgrade the "big 3" in my 1965 mustang. I think I have everything planned correctly but maybe you guys will just make sure. I'm running 1/0 welding wire and Knu battery terminals and accesories. What I am running: + Battery to + Solenoid + Solenoid to + Alternator - Battery to Engine Block - Alternator to Chassis So really this is the big 4 I suppose :lol:, but this is correct, yes? And should I find some other ground than engine block for the battery?
Funny story about the alt. in a minute lol I am only running about 500 watts but yeah the alt. does not really keep up. I just replaced the battery I had (which was super small) with a everstart maxx so that maybe I could survive with out the alternator upgrade for a little while. (Here's the funny/ironic part) Last night I was looking at alternators and accidentally ordered one :lol: so I'll be upgrading it soon haha. I'll be putting a '94 Mustang alternator in now, all I got left to buy is the conversion kit. I still need comps and have been thinking of system upgrades so I don't know how many watts I plan to run final.
how many amps is the one you ordered? shouldve order a high output for a 65 with the one wire setup it makes the install soooo easy
Its 130 amp, i think around 95 amps at idle (which is 7x more than stock). I think it will be fine with whatever I throw at it. The install is still easy, I've already been looking at how to do it. Just run power and one plug into the original harnes....seems simple enough.
