Review on Effortless Power Generation: Introducing the Painless 30831 Alternator by Fuzzhead Nelson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Used to upgrade the alternator on Foxbody Mustang

I used this alternator upgrade kit to upgrade the wiring on my Foxbody Mustang as it was cheaper than what is on other Late Model websites Pony is offered, and cheaper/easier than buying all the cables, plugs, fuses, etc. separately. Overall this kit worked for my upgrade but please note that there are a few things to consider when using this on a Foxbody. The included instructions are not model specific so follow the instructions posted online to connect the Foxbody. The connections to the generator are pre-wired, giving you "lots" of extra wiring for the connections you don't need. The stator plug is already correctly connected. Includes 150 amp fuse. The main power wire is 6 gauge and not long enough to get to the battery (or solenoid), you need about 2 feet more 6 gauge wire. I used a cheap battery wire and cut it to size. Overall it was a good clean install and despite the fact that the 6 gauge cable is a bit short based on how I ran it I would recommend this upgrade kit.

Pros
  • Starter & Alternators
Cons
  • Expensive
