I purchased this 160 amp alt kit from pete newman a while ago. I installed it but because of some very serious injuries I was unable to get it to work. I spent around $500 for the kit and bought a new fuse panel also. I have taken the car to Kens Sportech in san jose and he is completely Handcuffed by my attempt to get reliable electrical power in this car. He wants to put a used 75 amp alternator and a rusty old used fuse panel in it. Does any one know Pete Newman and can He call Mark his number 408 377-8055 Also fuse panel is Jwest

Petes kit is nothing but awesome, I suspect the trouble is elsewhere unless the polarity was wired backwards for whatever reason. If you lived nearby, I would definitely help with going thru your setup.
I would start with taking Petes alternator to a autoparts store and have them test it. This needs to be known as good before any diagnostics are preformed.
