1. just installed engine and was wondering why this gap between engine and seal.
2. the car is still just a shell, just engine and trans, no wiring or glass, but I have a battery installed so I can move the car in and out of the shop when I need to, have a remote start switch connected to starter and the hot wire run to the alternator, have the wire on the coil which i can connect to the alternator to run the engine, my question is how can I trick the alternator into charging the battery so I dont have to keep charging it with a battery charger.....thanks for all the help. |

It's the wrong cylinder tin, your car is a 75 or later designed for a fuel injected engine but you are using carbed cylinder tins.
Is it an internally regulated alternator?
You just need to hook up the charge light if so. _________________ Quick little bug, you got a Porsche motor in that?

wouldn't the bulb socket have to be grounded? |
