Resolved 1G 80A Alternator fuse keeps blowing?

[ChiTownHussla]

Does anyone have a picture on which terminals to use for the alternator? My 80 amp fuse keeps blowing. I know it's the alternator one too btw. I have a wire attached by a nut to the alternator itself with no washer or boot.

I need a reference as to how to fix this. Thanks and pics would be ideal for this.

Your wire is making contact with the alternator it self and blowing the fuse. Make sure battery is diconnected when you are adjusting the wire so you dont keep blowing the fuse .

Ok. So I just have to back the wire off a bit and put a bit of rubber or what? I lost the stock rubber piece in the engine swap pprocess. What do you reccomend? From what i can tell, the wire connector is touching the alt. That's the problem I gather?

Yeah. Go to your local alternator rebuilder and ask him if he has any laying around. You don't want to cheap out and have the fuse blow on you while you're going down the road. Don't ask me how I know...

Lol cool. How did that turn out btw? And how does said wire on alt stay connected but not touch supposedly? I wanna pic .

There's what's essentially a 1/8" thick rubber/plastic washer under it between it and the alternator.
