Re: alternator problems
sounds like to me youve left some wires loose somewhere, if the alt was charging when you started with the headers. go back over what you did and check everything . did you have to pull the motor ? you probably jacked the motor up and pulled some wires loose.Originally posted by klem0813

Did you disconnect the battery before removing the alt?Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

You probably jaared something lose when you were pulling the motor. It happens. However, before you get a new one, make sure you have it tested at another store. Some places can be a little unscrupulousRight engine, Wrong Wheels
