Best LSX daily driver accessory drive

I am not sure if this has anything to do with your problem but it is well documnented over at LS1 Tech that the early LS engines 1997 I think that did not run the alt thru the pcm require a resistor to be installed on the alt wiring or they will burn out in a short period of time. This was for the OEM alt not sure in your case.

The ground thing was the next thing I was going to tell you. Sometiemes if it is anodize the unit has a hard time grounding completely

Agreed, I had this on my blue '68 Camaro with anodized brackets. Just throw an ohmmeter from the case of the alternator to ground and see what you get. Anything more than an ohm, there's an issue.

I have a 1970 Olds 442 (A-body) I'm looking at the swap for.
I've been following this guys LY6 accessories swap out and parts info.

post #17 and #18 lay most of it out.

GMPP serpetine setup without air and a Kwik AC compressor bracket.

Any chance you can post links to this stuff ?? That's EXACTLY how I want my 1970 442's new LY6 to look.
A/C compressor and Alternator on opposing sides up high.

I'm looking into LY6 engines, and I have most of the GM part #'s to buy the stuff through GMpartsdirect.
Can't tell if that's a Vette accessories setup or not.......is the power steering Vette too ??

I can tell it's got the passenger car intake and water pump though......

I also responded to your PM. The setup pictured in post 11 is an LS3, the accessory drive is for a Corvette (w/o AC - GM 19155167), the AC compressor bracket from from KWIK Performance (K10143) and I separately purchased a Sanden compressor. I had all the brackets powder coated satin black and upgraded the hardware for the KWIK bracket. Take a look here: http://paceperformance.com/i-5135244...7-engines.html for the accessory drive w/o AC - there's no sense in buying parts you can't (or shouldn't) use.

Thanks Mike!!

If you keep blowing alternators, I would check your ground. Ground IS the most important circuit. Current is made by electrons which is negative in polarity. That means power flows from ground to positive. We are taught coventional power flow not electron flow. You can't have too many grounding points! I ground the battery to the engine, chassis and body. I ground the engine to the body and chassis. I also ground the body to the chassis. Never had an issue. I do not use solid core wire. Current flows around not inside the wire. Stranded wire has more surface area. Try more grounding points and see if that solves the problem.
