Re: Found D 4 Sale....question?

If you plan on using an aftermarket alternator (like from PEP boys or 
any other parts store) you have to modify the pivot mounting plate 
that is bolted (3 bolts) to the engine. You can check out my web 
site, www.dmcman.homestead.com, for the details on how to modify the 
plate and how to wire up the Delco alternator (on the parts and mod 
page, follow the alternator link). You could if you wanted to modigy 
the alternaor itself but cutting down the mount, but that you may 
have a problem down the road if the alternator goes on you and you 
want to use it as a core to get another one, or even void the 
warranty if it has a lifetime one. Another option is to buy a 
modified Delco alternator from PJ Grady that is a drop replacement 
(no modifications at all, including the wiring) but it is fairly 
expensive. You can Jump start the Delorean and the Jump points are 
located in the engine compartment to the right rear of it (rear 
meaning under the small rear window). If you have to replace the 
battery, spend the extra bucks and get the Optima brand (red top). 
You can get that battery at ATV if you have one in your area or you 
can get it from Rob at PJ Grady, he carries them.
