Careless Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 theres a GM Alternator that you can use that is an easy bolt on, and it's got a way better amperage and it's a lot more reliable from what people have said. there's a thread made already that has a link to a site that shows you how to cut the bracket to install it. you only need to cut the bracket once, and use a longer bolt. it's simple. search for threads made by me, and threads regarding my fuel pump and it will come up =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HizAndHerz Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If you don't any more power that the stock alternator can handle, I think that the easiest upgrade is going with an internally regulated alternator from a 1978 Z to 1983 ZX. The electrical mods are simple and are detail here: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html There are several options if you want a higher-rated alternator. I chose to go with the Delco-Remy 12si on all three of our Z's because of the higher output capabilty, availabilty and low cost. Here's the link to the article I wrote about swapping in a GM alternator: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
