Dear Members:
I have a 1954 chevy truck,235 motor converted to 12 volt, that I just purchased.
The battery was not charging and when I checked the generator it was not putting out anything...So, I pulled it and brought it to a rebuild guy..who informed me that the generator was from a FORD....No wonder it wasn't charging.
Anyway he suggested I go to a 1 wire alternator? or possible 3 wire.?
He also suggested I go to the junk yard and get a 74 or later GM alternator and bring it to him to convert to a 1 wire.
Well I rather buy a new one and when that goes bad get it rebuilt...that being said who builds an alternator for a 54 ? I saw a bracket in classic chevys but no alternator.
I'm new to the AD Chevys so I have a Million questions...but I'll just start with this one since it raised it's ugly head.
Thanks
Jimmi V.
