<p>Thanks for adding that feedback about the upgraded 10DN alternator Clifford! That's a great option for when you want to keep it looking original!</p>

<p>That's a nice upgrade Michael! I went for a different direction to a more factory look. Was looking for a high amp upgrade on Ebay and found a company named Chargers Auto Electric that sell refurbished and upgraded 135 amp 10DN alternators. They come with a new heavy duty solid state external voltage regulator. As you can see in the pictures the differences between the refurbished and factory alt. are in the pulleys, markings and size.

Bought one for $115 + $15 S & H. Altough the 12SI alternators with internal voltage regulators give a far better amp output then the 10DN's I must say that I did no modifications whatsoever on the existing mounting bracket and factory electrical harness except for the red output wire at the alternator to compensate for the load. Everything works as it should and up till now I had no problems. Dash and headlights dim less, power seat and windows work a little faster and so do the blinkers.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2175957921?profile=original" target="_self"></a></p>

<p>Thanks Kevin! Those control arms are from CB Chassis Products, aka Choppin Block. They make some nice stuff. I have their full front and rear tubular control arm kit. Nice quality stuff. Puts the crossmember on the ground. </p>
