Da Big Kahuna's '71 C/10

[DaBigKahuna]

I had an alternator bearing go bad on the way back from the CPP show. I picked up a Powermaster 100 amp alternator from Summit earlier this week. I was trying to get it ready for the Del Mar show this weekend but Wednesday night was the only time I had to work on it.

After getting into it, I found out that the plug on the alternator was different than the one on my harness. I ordered the proper plug but that killed my momentum for the weekend.

As I was laying in bed on Thursday night, it occurred to me that I could hook it up as a one wire temporarily. I wanted to scoot out of work early on Friday but there was just no way to get out.

Today I finished up the alternator install with a new belt and hooked it up as a one wire so I was able to drive the truck for the first time in 2 weeks. Some time next week, I'll have the harness to hook it up right. ;-)

I didn't think of taking any pictures but I'll try to snap some tomorrow.
