Why do you want to go old to new style? The newer style is better?

Hmm I misread what they typed.

Napa Echlin EC81 or Echlin EC82 is the adapter you need. CS130 will bolt up directly with next to no issues.

You'll want to upgrade your main supply voltage wire size to at least 8ga since you now have the capability to put out considerably more amperage if needed.

Yup I put a 8g wire from the alternator to my battery. I haven't upgraded the wire to the junction block yet.
