Hey guys, here's a question I don't remember being asked here. Can you rebuild an alternator to put out more amperage? Reason for me asking is that I might have to get an electric pusher fan for my ...more |

Hello, Yes, there are kits to increase the amperage of your alternator and there are larger alternators that range for moderate to expensive in price. However more important I would look at ...more |

Cory Rempel <Cory_383@xxxxxxxxxxx>: Jan 31 02:47PM
Hey Denis. The rad was rebuilt. At least it damn well better have been rebuilt. Sumbitch charged me $750 for it, which is $50 less than what I paid for the car, and about $200 less than what I paid ...more |

Just a couple of thoughts: Does it overheat at highway speed? If it does in my experience the pusher fan will not work and you have another problem. When you upgrade the alternator take the ...more |

I don't remember if it overheats at highway speeds. I didn't drive it at all last year cuz the brand new brakes didn't work for shit. This year my buddy said we'll put discs on it from one of his ...more |

If your car does cool down at reasonable speeds such as over 45, probably less, then you have an airflow issue. A shroud will be your best friend. ...more |

Okay, the one time I remember driving it on the highway (it gets driven like 95% in city) I do remember it was a comfortably warm day. About 25 Celsius so like 80 Fahrenheit. me and a buddy drove ...more |

From my experience the pusher fan did more harm than good. Paul Lenneman and I both tried them to no avail. Overheating is a common and aggravating issue with the older cars. I believe it is due to ...more |
