Still currently have the car and spent this hot ass day working on it in the sun. The saturn alternator I swapped in was slowly dieing so I decided to drop it and rebuild it myself. I kinda had a feeling that the battery being in the trunk with pawn shop amp wire had something to do with it so I made some brackets and also moved the battery back up front.
Tearing the alternator apart
New regulator, rectifier, and brushes
Parts in the case and ready to be soldered
All finished
Battery back up front
4ga from alt to fuse box and 4ga from the fuse box to the batt
