I've seen well over 10 alt's in an Astro. But that was a competition vehicle. The most i've seen in a daily driver is 3.

Sorry for the argumentation guys,

Tim

no apology necessary, freindly debates can breed ideas and breakthroughs,

but really, that was no debate, more of a discussion of input

bonnevillemac 01-03-2008 05:56 PM

Yes it does, I was cutting up with all the apologies. I enjoy a good discussion
I just really did think they did more good than that.

Thanks,

Tim

well, theres definitely no kits available.

is ur a/c operational?

cuz i deleted mine and had contiplated engineering the alt to fit where the compressor was. i would also put one of the lower frame shields that the later 90's had to keep water out. jsut a thought tho, i havent tried anything. yet.

i do not care for the ac as it will be a music car and the windows would be open for voice or sealed shut for spl and db drag. so no i dont care for or need the ac to work.. plus it dont work as it is. (needs recharge)..
