Installed the alternator from my old blaze,r in the litle truck.  I had prieviosly installed a 140amp  stator in the blazer alt. to power my stereo (which was stolen) it is an internally requlated Gm alternator. Dime a dozen, this is the stators second body, but an easy crossover, after bracket fab, will post pics after the weekend.

Top, wide view, looks like it belongs, all the wires wth the conduit and blu tape are for the H-4 conversion, along with some 150w "rally" lights on a toggle, with a relay

The deleted voltage regulator, that I will keep on stand by, along with the old bracket and alt.  I carry this stuff on road trips.  All the wires will get cleaned up later, as soon as I get a rountuit.

Sorry, but it is just a flat piece of 1/4 plate kinda looks like a pistol with two "L" angles facing each other for the lower mount on the barrel, if you will. And  an angle diaginally fitting between the bolt pattern

do you have a quick writeup on swapping that in? i'll be running a larger stereo and a few gadgets in the cabin that i'm sure would kill the stock alt
