Wink 100 amp alt

Hi,
The alt puts out alot af amperage and needs a #8 pos and #8 grd wire. I find that more amperage is blocked by a high resistance grnd at the mounting bolts. Also with a chrome alt you need to grind or file the chrome off so there is a good ground at the mounting bolts.
The fans need a relay to isolate them from the alt and ignition or they can back feed a voltage spike and blow the ign. On MSD igition you need a relay on the main power or the engine can run on from backfed voltage from the alt or fans, NHRA tech will check that the engine does not run on.
Perry.
