you can buy 4th 0r 5th gen alternator which put out my voltage like 110amp i think or if you really want power buy i muslce car universel alternator kit,it pretty cheap. you can get with any voltage you want and brakets to mount it.

Other than that I am just going to finish up on my house (putting the siding up after enclosing the carport, remodeling and repainting on the inside) and hopefully start on a shop that I am in bad need of.

I wish I could say start on the Chevelle but that’s probably next summers project...maybe this winter since the carport will be enclosed (and will hopefully have a garage door).
honestly now that I'm thinking about it more, I think the real mods are going to wait a year or two, it's more money than I feel comfortable spending right now

Just need new seats and new CD player and I'm set. I'm trying to make the car last for another 3-4 years. Shouldn't be too hard since it just turned 100K miles.
shouldn't be a problem at all

I'd worry about the tranny much more than the engine.

hmm...

I don't have any money so no plans this summer.

I haven't even driven the Max since June 18. It's been just sitting in the garage.

The Infiniti will be in the shop for a while and I will be sporting some kind of rental. Maybe I will mod that (the rental)

No they dont, but the guage cluster is all electronic so it will still read out correctly. The VG is a SOHC, and the VE is the DOHC

My plans are to make some mounts to fit 6x9 speakers in the rear. and install an amp and subs in the trunk. I also plan to add the stillen intake or something similar and I would like to get a full warpspeed exhaust but I probably only will be able to get the warpspeed Y-Pipe. I dont know if Im going to do much with this car anymore. Im trying to get a suburban or a K-5 Blazer to do offroading this summer. We'll see what comes up this summer. Hopefully I can find a job to make some money with.

I don't have a way to jack it up right now. I talked to Doug about helping me out with the Dodge (since I know jack about carbs) and he is really really busy.

Do you have a spare stock one?

Maybe after my brother's wedding and my son's surgery I could try to make it up there. I wanted to get to one of the NW meets this month.

Just go to a junkyard and find a car with Bose. The Bose ones have 6x9s in them.

I took out the stock Bose speakers and put some Infiniti 6x9s back there for rear fill.

Also, unless you have rust problems with your stock exhaust, a y-pipe does way more for improving power than the rest of the exhaust.

I'm replacing a fuel injector and timing belt on my VG.

Hoping to buy a replacement VE 5-spd to cure my ailments and lack of horsepower.

STEREO/INTERIOR-finish fiberglass doorpanels, install 3-way in new doorpanels (focal utopia mids and a/d/s px tweets) before I go to seattle, install viper 791xv, install black carpet, get two tone leather interior, get another 4 ch. amp.

PERFORMANCE-get subframe connectors, possibly get turbo and install it (already have manifolds) or I'll get nitrous in the mean time.

LOOKS-get stillen kit, make a new grille, paint the max the original color, get new wheels.

GO TO SCHOOL IN THE FALL!!!

Only problem is I dont have a VG SE tach, so you might think your redline is 6600rpm instead of the 6000rpm it really is
