I get delco anything I can.. Especially oil filters and shit that's tough to get to
Hell
One time years and years ago this woman I had drove a MAZDA MX-3 ... And no one could ever get an alternator to last in it.. I even tried rewiring everything a better way .. Bought one from Autozone, another from Oreilley, and ANOTHER one from western auto... Returned them to all three places at least TWICE.. Literally almost TEN alternators we went through. And they were ALWAYS good on the bench even for the load test. Western auto finally said fuck you because they blamed my wiring. Idiots.
So I had some Russian guy build a Delco to fit in there.. it ended up with a 200AMP delco.. the thing looked bigger than the 1.6L motor on that little car, and when you put a big load against the charging system you literally would lose acceleration .. It was fucking comical
But the car all its life had eaten belts and alternators
I got it right with my own wiring and a custom bracket
Several ASE mechanics had "fixed" it, her mechanic father "fixed" it
I fixed the thing right
200 amps of pure ridiculousness
It was wonderful
