    Ill be getting my 270a alternator in Wednesday and was wondering what size fuse to use for the wire between the alt. & batt. I'm assuming a 100a ANL will be insufficient when the alternator is running full tilt.

    I have a aouple of rattles left to get out of my car. I bought some 60 mil dynamat type sound deadener off ebay. one of the last rattles I have is the heat deflector that is mounted 2 1/2" away from my muffler. it probably doesn't get near as hot as the muffler, but I want to get some feedback on it before I put any on the top of the deflector. does anyone know how much heat these deadeners can take safely. Should I put the deadener on the deflector? any advice would be appreciated. thanks Josh
