[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tom Renzo: [QB] The protector is placed at the furthest point away from the alt. It is not there to protect the alt it there to protect the wire. It has to be near the battery or at the end of the heavy wire closest to the source of power. Another words the battery. Now just for the record and do not take this wrong!! Ford alternators SUCK BIG TIME. A chevy alternator is the way to go. They always charge at idle and they put out more than enough power to run your car. As far as those so called 200A alternators they do put out more power but no where near 200A. Once again they would have to be spun at MAX RPM and even at that they will not put out 200 AMPS. Once again as i posted up dating to a bigger alt especially a ford one is very disappointing at best. Remember most alternators will normally charge at approximately the same power. Just a fact. The chevy ALT is wired Y where as the Ford units are delta. You should never have a voltage flare up from off idle to lets say 1200 RPM.Only if you are having a very high load and the alt can not keep up. Once again the alt you are using is a good one one of the best ford has for this application but it is no where near as good as a gm unit!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
