Dude your car is helping get the motivation to get mine finished its just hard detailing 2 cars a day everyday then on the weekends trying to color sand and work on my car but it has to be done before Mini Nate's at Sonoma race way (Sears point)(Nor California) before Aug 5th. I'm sponsored by Pacific region of Shelby and need my car ready for car show and race track and drag strip don't want to lose a grand on 2 races down the drag strip lol .. I think the black alternator would make it all come together perfect IMO but either way your car is amazing man. When do you have your meth kick in? I see your running a dual set up like i will and i was just curious thanks.

Damn man, sounds like you got your hands full! Thanks for the nice words. I actually am starting to lean towards the black alternator as well, so probably some time over the summer I'll swap to that and it should really wrap everything up nicely. I'm actually running a tri-nozzle setup (one pre blower, 2 pre throttle body). I have it set to come on at 6psi and kick off around 20. After having meth on this car, any F/I car I have in future will 100% have meth, its some pretty awesome stuff. Very beneficial in multiple ways.
How do you like the TF valve covers? Once I sell my Team Breeds I will be buying some also.
I vote yes for the black alternator it will hide it in plain sight so only your polished pieces will pop.

Knock on wood, but so far so good with the TF covers. I really like the black too because it will hide all dirt and belt dust. My Team Breeds were second to none, but they really started to show age. I'm in agreement with the alternator too, it will come eventually. Carlisle????

Did you disassemble the alternator? Tough to do?

yes I did and no it was not hard to do. I just took a part out and took a pic, took another part out and took another pic. There was a video on youtube that showed how to do it on a regular alt that made it easy. You will need to get the bearings pressed out to do it.

The bearings on the 2v alternator do not need to be pressed out. There is a small retainer for the front bearing and then you tap it out with a brass drift or a socket. I just painted mine, and totally forgot to take pictures. It only take 10 minutes to tear it down.
I used this video for reference

Carlisle, me?
No but I will probably be at AM in the summer.
I need to find a car first. I am looking at low mile garage queens and I found a few with under 50k miles for decent prices to swap all my stuff on. For just a few dollars more than it would cost to rebuild my trans I could just buy another SN
