Got a new Truck (new to me)

OK the Alternator was a 60 amp, double pulley bought at Autozone for a 1985 Ford F150 application. The one wire kit is designed for '85 and earlier Ford and 60 amp or less Alternators.

ABS junction block af the rear was all froze up, out it goes.



Went with the Mopar HEI ignition conversion with the E-Coil after starting out with a points system. Much better starts and running with the HEI.

The steering box brace was installed on this '89, but the angle bracket on it still cracked at the core support.

Drilled a 3/8" hole in the good part of the angle brace, and bolted it to the core support where it cracked. Think I will get it up to the welder and weld that crack too.

Thanks. I will have to find a way to make a mopar alternator work. I have several from the 70s and 80s plus a couple magnum era ones. I'm sure I could just wire in an old style voltage regulator and it work. I may look into that hei conversion. I've heard good things about them I know @318willrun did one a while back.
