Alternator to battery is from American Autowire: https://www.americanautowire.com/sho...connection-kit

Starter wire was part of the American Autowire body wiring harness. I believe it is 12ga. Same for the bulkhead feed wire from the starter, it is a 10ga.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. Interesting I just got my american autowire kit from brotherstrucks today and it has that alternator kit inside of it. I bought their deluxe 20. I am relocating my battery under the frame though so I need to find cables. I heard welding wire is really good stuff so I may go see what airgas may have after work tomorrow.

Keep up the good work sir.

No problem at all

A little update on my brakes. I swapped the booster for another tuff-stuff unit and low and behold, the brakes are working much better. It's hotter than hades here, so I have only tested a little. I need to re-bleed the brakes. When I slam on the brakes, the front left and rear right lock up (shortest lines on the front and rear systems). So that is promising.

Also picked up a set of TR5's to swap out these AC Delco plugs.

Just waiting for it to cool down. We are in our typical inferno season of 95+ 70%+ humidity.

We need more engine videos! I loved hearing your dyno pulls. It's motivation to keep me going so I can hear mine some day.

It’s been so dang hot out. I definitely need AC. As soon as it cools down I’ll get some video!

Sorry, I've been slacking on my build thread. Here are some videos I put together about the build. I've been trying to drive it as much as possible. Went to my hometown car show this past weekend. Didn't win anything, but had a steady stream of people wanting to talk about the truck and the swap. It was wild.

I was just watching your videos yesterday. What happened when you were doing the burnout and then the eagle call comes in? Choice words?

I'm hoping your randomizer picks me for the injectors giveaway.
