New Alternator

Put my new alternator in last night and also the 250 amp in-line fuse from DB.I mounted it on the air filter housing. I am not sure how to post a pic so I used my Kodak album.Please let me know if it worked and if this is OK to do on the site. Carl Kodakgallery.com: Slideshow

The link worked. That looks good. The DB should take care of you.

Is that all you had to add to upgrade to a bigger alternator?

was the install easy?
did you just have to install the inline fuse to the POS battery post?
all other wiring just stock?

Sorry I did not see this sooner.The install was super easy.Took all of 5 min on the alternator.The fuse block took a little longer,Had to cut the cable and put the connectors on.The fuse block is not required but is a good safety play.If you have any short or over load it takes care of it.Hooked it to the Pos. on battery.You could go either side.I had more room on the left.

To me the fuse is a necessity.
