I have just finished converting my 51 chevy pickup to a 350/350. I have also installed a modern aftermarket wiring harness.
So far every thing seams to work good.
If I turn the key on without the engine running(it is not quite ready to fire up) and let it set a few minutes the alternator gets real hot. If you leave it for 30-40 minutes it is almost to hot to touch.
Is this normal??
OR do I have a defective alternator??
It is wired properly as per the wire harness instructions. [img]
