Yessiree.... cost me a whopping $47 for the alternator (out of a 96 T-Bird 3.8L non-SC), the megafuse housing, an extra-long battery cable (enough for my Dent too), terminal ends, and heat shrink. I get a whopping 14.6 VDC at idle. Do it.

Thanks for those pics Silver! I'll be doing the same mod and I hadn't given any thought to that mega fuse.

Been there, done that, got the T shirt. About 25 years ago I changed to a one wire GM alternator with regulator and never looked back. It's also 80 or so amps.
