Form and function have danced against each other for as long as humans have been selling products. Function held strong in many cases but the form is what ultimately drew buyers to a given product when there were a multitude of options. You can put some amazing components on your vehicle but for what we do, generally it needs to look good too. This is where Tuff Stuff Performance Accessories comes into play.

Tuff Stuff Performance Accessories manufactures custom plated or finished products such as brake boosters, alternators and starters. Available coatings include chrome plating, various levels of polishing, Factory look as well as powder coating. To help give you a bit of knowledge, here is a Quick Hit Q & A.

When to use a one wire alternator?

One wire alternators will simplify your build up. If you are starting a project from scratch, then there is no longer a need for the messy wiring harness from an externally mounted fender wall regulator. In many instances you can remove your existing external regulator and harness and replace it with a one wire. One wire alternators can be purchased for GM, Ford and Mopar applications. Please note: If your vehicle was originally equipped with a dash indicator lamp in some GM applications it will be necessary to remove the black rubber regulator cover and plug in your existing two spade plug. This procedure can be performed when installing our models 7127, 7139 and 7140.

Why should I install an aluminum water pump?

Some water pumps are available as aluminum rather than cast iron. Aluminum pumps are much lighter than cast and can be polished to a high luster without rusting.

Do I need a proportioning valve if I am converting over to power brakes?

Yes, when converting to power brakes you must use a proportioning valve (#2301, #2302, #2303). They come complete with bracket and the lines from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve.
