Woooohooooo! The feeling of finally finishing the swap is awesome. Took way too long and was a very dumb issue but im glad its over for the most part. The stock 70 A alternator was giving the car 12v while running. From my inexperience i thought that was normal. Year of painful troubleshooting later to find out its not normal😂. Slapped on the 130A alternator and shes getting 14.7 with everything running. It was not revving past 4k, popping at WOT, dieing at idle and no V8 power. Now it pulls with the slightest throttle and can take WOT without bogging! Ill wrap it up since im not posting helpful info, thank yall who spent the time and effort to help me out along the way. Couldn't of done it without yall, thank you rangerstation family!
