LED lights for exterior lights

Engine cooling and AC performance was improved in four ways.
1) A DeWitts/Spal cooling fan assembly was installed. The fan assembly draws air over 100% of the radiator rather than 92% with the OE fan assembly. The Spal fan assembly weights five pounds less than the OE fan assembly.
2) The alternator was upgraded from OE 124 amps to PowerMaster 200 amps to increase the system voltage. This runs the coolant and AC fans faster.
3) The power output cable from the alternator was doubled in current capacity to reduce voltage drop. The power cable for the AC blower was doubled in current capacity.
4) The brake light current was reduced from 11.2 amps to 1.5 amps to increase the system voltage .2 volt with the brakes applied.
I can tell you that having the extra power to the AC blower makes a world of difference. You can feel the extra air flow. Marc tested the air flow before and after and said the air flow at the center vent has improved from 10 mph to 14 mph. This is an increase of 30%. Still have to evaluate this summer but I believe this is the solution to our marginal cooling capabilities, and sure I will be very comfortable this summer with the AC on.

Thanks Charlie!
This is some cool stuff - pun intended.

Woops! Did I just make you spend some mo'?!

Ha, ha!!! I bought the Revolution kits in 2015 and never installed until now so I’m stuck with it. The good thing is I probably can’t get it shipped to me now so good thing I have something.

This new Wilwood looks awesome and much better than the Revolution solution back then.

Blame it on Charlie is right!!! You WAZOO guys are killing me. I have to stop looking at the Registry and remove the app from my phone. I’m trying to retire!!!!! Seriously, thanks for sharing this.......now I have other stuff to consider. I still haven’t installed my headers, Z06 cats, DRM coilovers, Banski suspension, or Kenwood Apple Play deck with front/rear cameras, and ported top end.All sitting in the shelf!!! I know; get off my arse and just do it!!!

I’m running revolution rear brakes too. And they are fine with mr. Parker parking brakes.

I bought mine after seeing your post many years ago. Thanks again for the info and drawing for Mr. Parker install. I’ll have to take the bracket to the auto hobby shop on base. I still don’t have a welder yet.

Last time I stopped by Phil’s to drop off fuel pressure regulator to be modified he was showing off his new welder!
Know what I mean about WAZOO?!

That’s it! I am moving to the Washington metropolitan area. 🤣
