DC Power

Ordered a 270XP today. Getting it powder coated blue. Two weeks is going to seem like for ever. I hope it don't take longer than that. Feel like a kid waiting on Christmas.

No I haven't really talked to them yet. I was just going off what the website said. I've heard of other people's taking forever. Just wishful thinking. Glad I don't need it right away.

You might give Ed@Ficmrepair.com a ring and see if he by chance has one. It's a bit cheaper IIRC, and he keeps DC alternators in stock (blue might be a stretch).

Exactly!

I will admit that ALT sure is nice looking! Paint the engine block Ford Blue and it would look freakin' magical under the hood.
