Billet Tech Alternator

I put a Billet Tech for the wrong reason, it looked good. Now that the snow is starting to melt and I am driving the car, it not only looks good, but my low voltage issues at idle are gone! If you have changed your crank pulley to get more power and have voltage issues, the Billet Tech alternator will solve the issue.

Nice!

It is a 10.9, so I have to assume it is. I want to convert everything to 12 point stainless ARP, but they don't have all the sizes, and I have not won the Power Ball lottery!

Thanks again for your ground cable recommendations!

As for other sizes, like the alternator, measure oem and call direct, alternator bolt is not unique, but they can make one per spec. for a price. I will soon replace that, when I make the change out to my new one piece alternator cover - when I got the motivations.

That said, unless it is space constraint or low torque requirement, twelve point is not as strong as 6 - right? But choice is to each their own.

My ground suggestion was just that, no problem. I noticed you using the stock grounding point for the alternator on frame. You probably already know, the new black anodized cover requires no additional ground.

Enjoy better weather coming soon for you.
