TEMPE ARIZONA
The 12 volt generator on my 53 with 216 engine went south again.
Tired of spending $200 to have it rebuilt. Will be the third time. I puchased the mounting bracket from Classics. Does any one have a list as to what else is needed.
Thanks from Phoenix,
Bill S.
ps. Ive survived another Phoenix winter. Wind Chill 65 degrees.

Bill,

If you installed a single wire alternator, all you would have to do is connect its BATT output to the wire that attached to the 12 volt BATT terminal on your old, firewall mounted voltage regulator. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

There are probably belt width/pulley issues too, but they are pretty self evident. Good news you didn't freeze to death in Tempe...I'm drowning in rain in Eureka. smile
