Double your power, double your fun

The old lucas was giving out. At maximium 45 amps output 43 years ago its not cutting it anymore. The new saturn is either 96 or 105amp depending on which one you get. Plenty.

Saturn alternator arrived along with plug.
Step 1- rotate front cover by unscrewing bolts.   This makes the saturn match the old tired lucas.

Step 2- Remove the serpentine belt pulley,  put on a replacement  (i got a late 80s gm stock pulley) 

Wiring is easy.  
New plug , i got a dorman 8584 ,whether 4 wire or 3 wire , just gets the 1st large red wire hooked to" bat" along with stock brown wires,  and third wire gets hooked to brown/yellow dash idiot light. 

Installed in stock position, needed 1 longer bolt for upper water pump mount and grind corner of adjusting bracket to fit.

Plug in situ...

So whats the difference?
How about ignition light going off before the engine starts and being able to run EVERYTHING and still have 13.1 volts at idle
