Soooooooo pretty much my question I'm swapping fro. Vbelt to serp and the original alt uses 2 wires and the new alt only uses 1 jus wondering wat to do there. 1 wire goes to the starter the other I haven't traced jus wondering wat to do there.

I did this swap on mine. Well, the big one goes to the starter, then you have tso smaller ones that come off the four-wire connector on the back of the alternator. One is for "Generator" pretty sure that's the gauge line for your dash gauges, and and the other goes I can't remember, I'd do a search for "Alternator serpentine swap" and it should pull up the diagram you need.

I have it, but I didn't look at it last night. Do a search, trust me, its there. That's where I got my info on the pigtail. I'll look tonight and see if there is a P/N on it when I get home from work tonight.

Thanks a lot man I appreciate it my schedule right now is really tight so I barely have time to get on and respond here. I've done a couple searches and only found 1 site that carries it but was hoping that kragen has it if not I might see if Brian tunedperformance can make me one.

I have 1 more question when I pulled out the 165 harness it took out my oil pressure wire to the gauge and was wondering how that would be set up.
