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.... -COS
I don't know the answer, but maybe someone on these forums does: http://www.fordsix.com/ cheers Ed N.
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. -KK
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.
