Chevrolet/Dual Alternators on a chevy....

Question
I know on all mil-spec K-5 Blazers they have a charging system consisting of two alternators (not agenerator like the H-1 HWMMV has). I like the idea of adding a second alt. into the relem of things on a modified 91' S-10 blazer. It has the same belt diagram as a 350ci I just need to know how I would wire it into the exsisting system. Thanks for any help....

HI - as far as the alt. I would think , as I never had a duel hook up , that it would be in series but I could be wrong ,and I also think that you can not just add a second alt. and thats all , the computer would have to be re-set
and I would think the system might have to be set with a regulator of some type to allow for all of the output so it would not over charge and blow bulbs or burn stuff up. I would look into it real good , I bet you can find a kit someplace for it, try (jc whitney .com )tell them I told you. but I would check into it real good first as I would not want to see you burn up your wireing harness. ok
