64 Falcon 170 6cly Gen. To Alt conversion??

I was wondering if anyone has done a swap on their 170 6cly Falcon by putting a GM one wire altenator on the falcon 6cly to get rid of the generator

or any kind of an easy swap...Trying to get something more reliable....

Anybody?? This may be a stupid question but any answer would help...

 

I don't know the answer, but maybe someone on these forums does:

Yes, I have. I works great.

Remove the voltage regulator.

 

the ford falcon news .com is another resource, thier forum has alot of info on this subject

 

Seconded, join the TFFN, (free) do a search on generator to alternator conversion, and you will bring up page after page of info and links to diagrams on all types of conversions for 6 or V8, Ford or GM alternators.

I'm looking to do this on the kid's old Econoline soon. Doesn't seem like it can be much simpler. This page is using the newer style timing cover, but the aftermarket bracket kits would make it even easier.

 

Thanks for all your replies my brother will find all this info very useful...
