converting a generator to an alternator
I have a 64.5 mustang, 289 4v, 4 speed, ps, pb, and air conditioning. The generator is bad so I am thinking this is the right time to convert to a 1 wire alternator. I know that I will need new brackets but will the pullies line up and will I need to rewire anything
My mustang has the big voltage regulator next to the radiator, the best I can tell there is nothing to unplug. There are some terminals that have wires connected to them, do i just disconnect them and tape them up?
I finally figured out the wiring to convert my car to an alternator and I bought a set of Mr gasket alternator brackets and I can't figure out how to install them and I see no place for the air conditioning pulley. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it?
Damn , Gears just had a segment on the very same thing you are doing, sorry , I'm not that much of a gearhead, so Im not much help
I finally got the alternator installed after getting the generator brackets modified, I taped up the wires that ran to the generator and ran the one wire from the alternator to the solenoid. I unhooked the biggest wire at the voltage regulator and taped it up and now I have no power, the lights won't come on, nothing. I charged the battery overnight so that's not it, any suggestions would be appreciated.
