My car has a rebuilt Auto Zone 75 amp alt, and the volts drop pretty low with everything on at idle, without a fan. For some weird reason, having the AC on makes the volts drop the most.

I already have the 130 amp alt, just have not gotten around to putting it in yet. I'm gonna make up the main power feed wire myself, maybe from a SN-95 harness.

I saw the install article at Ford Muscle and had some questions.
I assume the top brackets that bolt in where the threaded rods go, also bolt to the radiator like the shroud does, but how does the bottom get attached?? It looked like only two brackets for the top.

The bottle support bracket looks pretty simple too, that should be no problemo.
