More alternator questions

[Mike Hohnstein]

When you say you lengthened the cable a foot, you replaced the cable, right? I
don't think long term service will be that great with a splice in the cable,
makes resistance, alternators don't like that in my experience.

I replaced my alternator about a year ago with a Delco 160amp...I had to
lengthen the heavy gauge battery cable about a foot, since the delco was
smaller
than the Prestolite that I removed, and the lug was on the far side of the
alternator. I think my BB came with the 130a Prestolite when it was new.
BTW, the new Delco cost around $220, and I kept the Prestolite as a spare.
