1969 Chevelle Build

Fabbed an on-off switch for working on the car, transporting or when it is just sitting. Wired the alternator to the battery side post. So it will truly kill all of the electrical.

Bought and tried to install a Powermaster Alternator kit. Not impressed. Early 90's GM 1 wire truck alternator with crappy spray paint, cheaply made brackets and equally crappy mounting hardware. Not to mention expensive. We flipped around the bolts just to make it work, cut off one ear of the alternator, ditched the stamped fan and shimmed it out from the block for alignment. At some point when this motor comes out, I will dissemble the alternator, get the case powdercoated, speed hole the crappy brackets and get them anodized black, along with the pulleys to match the high quality Meziere water pump. I will swap out the hardware for ARP too.
