    So Frank, let me get this straight. You change alternators to get rid of the voltage regulator and clean up the splash apron on that side. Then you put a bigger box on there with more wires going to it right where you cleaned up before. I don't know about you. LOL.

    Looks likes a neat installation.

    Any play by play on this? Looks like a worthy mod.

    Looks good Frank! (y) I've got two of those in my '73, one from a Nissan Sentra (fuses and relays for lights, horn, radio, and whatever), and one from a 2001 Ranger (for the engine from the Ranger). Put them in the trunk with the battery, they are down in the little drop off area behind the rear wheel in the trunk. Wires run up over the rear wheel well and down through the rocker panel, come out under the dash behind the passenger kick panel.
