    Damn that thing is a monster. Those gauges look like they belong in a model T. Why the retro look?

    the gagues are street rod style... a little retro but hell my bronco was built over 26 years ago... i think they are bad dood... and the isolator is to rig up a dual battery setup... still need a silonoide to make it switchable... i think i am gonna go with the s55 borge warner one that austin used in his truck

    Chris, the isolator allows two batteries to be charged off one alternator. It keep them seperated so if one dies it doesnt discharge the other one. Thats a damn good price for any D60 caliper, mine cost $60 each and they're just the bendix ones, not the fancy dual pistons.

    how big of an alternator should i get... I have heard that Rick's Starter can beef up alternators but havent called them yet. stock alternator is 55amps and i think i wanna run something like 100amps or so... Jimmy didnt you upgrade to something blingy in the 100 amp range?...

    On a gasser with some accesories I would run at least 100 amp. On the burban I had a 140 amp cause I had a stereo too but the 65 amp stock alternator in pigpen seems to keep up fine, but my motor doesnt use any electricity, just the fans do.
