okay, is adding a new alternator to an existing system as easy as fabricating a bracket and getting a longer pulley? I have an extra sitting around and I was just wondering if I could ground it and just run it to a seperate battery in back for amps or what wiring is essential to an alternator. |

im in mn. and its an old car plenty of room for the bracket and second alternator to the rights of the fan below the intake for the carb/air filter tube. I thought about it, and I figured if it came around the normal way over the alt, then back under an extra pulley then over the extra alt and finally back into the bottom pulley that it was origionally on after the first alt it might work.

I work in a machine shop type setting, Im hoping I can fabricate a bracket that will work with a hole punch and a band saw... maybe with 1/4 in steel? idk if I get a chance I will post a picture. |
