is it possible to take the alt out of the bracket and turn it a little to reach the connector a little better? Should be enough slack on the wire I would think, but not familiar with those engines. Just throwing that out there.

25 out? You must be in Bennington, we haven't hit more than 15 all day in Mt Holly.
