    AD244 alternator upgrade mod with pictures

    I forgot to ask/check if the stock pulley and the AD244 were the same size. I don't think the serpentine belt requires replacement but I no longer have an OEM alternator to check. Thanks!

    tach reading way off?help?

    Re: tach reading way off?help? Pull the RPM needle off and re-adjust with the engine running. If you take the glass/plastic off of the instrument cluster and reinstall the cluster you can go for a test spin to verify proper orientation of the needle. The odometer motor has a bad gear in it...

    Help! Fixed timing now No Power

    Re: Electrical Short If the power was shorting to ground then the battery would be dead by now. More likely you have a bad main ground connection.
