I'm puting in the taylor ovc kit and the place i'm running the wires touches the alternator housing. Will this cause any problems(electrical interference)??. Does anyone else have their plug wires touching the alt. housing???

 

Anyone??? Is this just a stupid question??

 

shouldn't matter

 

same with me, didnt have any ill effects that i could notice. i just kinda spred them out under the alt for better clearences

 

If you have room, put some small diameter convoluted tubing on them to keep them from being abraded.

 

Thats what I did and no problems. I put enough convulted tubing around the wires all the way from the back of the alt. housing down behind the pullies to the opti. I dont like the wires touching hot metal. Its been about 8 months and no problems.

 

i try not to let plug wires touch any metal.. especially taylors b/c they will arch like mad. the alternator also gets very hot which might melt the outer silicone layer so be careful of that.

 

The tubing you guys are talking about.....is that the same as split-loom tubing??? Thanks again.

 

That's what I did.

 

Yeah, it's the stuff that is all over your engine compartment.

 

Cool, thats what I thought. I've just never heard it called "convaluted tubing" before. That's actually good. I just ordered an assortment of red "split loom"(thats the name I like), from Eastwood products.....it comes with 10' each of 6 or 7 diameters pretty cheap.

Just to let everyone with an air compressor know.....they have really good deals on sandblasting equipment, and other tools and equipment. I want to get my undercarriage back to "pretty".

Thanks for the re-assurance everyone....
