Help me wire the gen and voltage regulator

I"ve been doing streetrods,?Yeah I said streetrods With One wire alternaters for so long now, I think I forgot how to wire up this gen and voltage Reg in the 32 sedan. I probably have a diagram somewhere but the HAMB has been known to solve a problem as simple as this faster than I could get back out to the garage.

I't basic 12v neg ground, using the 12v gen from a 57 chev and a new v reg.

So, the mad thrash is on with this car.

Thanks in advance.

 

Somehow I thought this would be an easy one

Maybe I need to say please

 

Hey Rudy!Pretty simple stuff. From the pos side of the batt. run a wire to the Batt. terminal on the reg. The A, or armature post on the gen. is wired to the Gen. term on the reg. the F or field post on the gen. is wired to the feild term. of the reg. Use a good ground wire to the G or ch***is of the reg. And of course the G or ground post of the gen goes to a frame ground. Remember to polorize the generator when you fire it up for the first time. connect a wire between the gen. and bat. terminals,for just a second. Sparky

 

the terminals on the generator will say "F" and "A" they go to the "F" and "A" terminals on the regulator."B" ges to the battery,use a big red 10 gauge wire.run another big red 10 gauge wire through the firewall to your ignition switch.

 

Ok Now we are getting somewhere. I was hoping that it was as easy as matching up the F(field) and the A (armature) on each. And the Batt to the batt of course.

Now, I have seen a condenser used on the generators, there is none on this one. Is it nessary? ANd what does it actually do. I know the early cars had a condenser on the coil too. Anybody care to clue me in on the use of condensers.

Thanks Sparky, and Yorg for the help.

 

no that's not. it was there to stop radio buzz

 

I got just the opposite problem - I am wiring my first one wire Alternator. Roadstar help out with this!

 

Most important of all -when it starts up and AINT charging.. ....slap a screwdrivewr across the two terminals of the Generator for a second- and WHAMMO-you are now POLARIZED!!

 

This I know Depending on the output, a 10 guage wire from the main Batt term**** on the starter to the Alt and your done. When using a big 100 amp alt, I will use a 8 guage wire. IT's almost too easy.
