[Rick Muck- Mark IV]

Be sure to use a quality new or reman alternator. Your average "parts store" unit has VERY cheap bearings (I get a trade advert and they sell for less than 70 cents so you decide the quality..) and the insulation on the windings will often soften or melt when installed near the headers.

As these are often spun to speeds that were not common on a pickup truck, it is worth the extra safety to buy a well built unit intended for hi-revs and high temperature locations.

And it is acessable via the panel in the bulkhead with the seat out. On Safir P1116 it was much faster to remove the seats and the panels than to curse and cuss at the lack of room.
