Trying to remember how to rewire to convert from generator to one wire alternator in a 60 chevy. Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
Not really a 'no-brainer', if he has the generator harness (arm., field) going to the regulator, and the field wire from regulator to the idiot light, and the 'batt' terminal leading into the interior, he may want to know just where to run the 10 gauge wire from the Alt. (starter sol.) Then, what to do with the 12 gauge wire from the regulator to the interior? I thought it was a veritable query.
I posted this earlier in another thread. This was on my 59 el camino, copied off a 62 Impala a friend bought. I used a junction block off a 70's GM pickup , which I mounted on the core support. ,( they are mounted on the firewall on the trucks). removed all but the main power feed(thick wire) from the generator feed and routed that to the junction box. I have a remote starter solenoid, so I ran the wire from my alternator to the solenoid positive. I then ran a wire from battery positive to the junction box, and added a voltmeter under the dash, wired to a keyed hot terminal off the fuse box. Has worked well for 10 years. That said, I will be adding a stock alternator,(10si) wired correctly, and will not run a one wire again. My wiring skills, and thinking are much better now then 10 years ago.
