Or did he use crimp connections on all yellow wire and it looks like a bowl of spaghetti? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 117 | yes to everything, i had a new alternator, and everything done with the right gauge wiring

If a modern harness was used and everything was done right it's a fair price.
