Driver's side kit would be PN TRP-ALT1 and costs $85.00

I know the Pontiac guy who makes the Kits for Butler and it is a well designed/ quality part.

What I'm using and I had no issues with it mounted on either side of the block. This kit mounts the alternator rock solid.

Now a days with all the electronics in a race care it's important to have a well charged battery 12 or 16 volts. I would never race without an alternator. I always have 13.5 volts or better going down the track.

Just curious....do you run a 16v system George?
So far I have not saw my voltage gauge below 14V after 2/3 runs...14 volts and I charge it..I do start with a fully charged battery on first pass.
Eventurally I will get a 16v alternator...I have a "heavy" 16v battery but I also have a lot of reserve amps..

Question for Mr. Vaught...with AC 220 is much more efficent than 110 and requires less amps to do the same work......is this not true for 16v over 12v syatems..

triathlonx13:...that bracket looks thicker than my old Tin Indian....did Kevin beef them up..?
