Title: Generator to Alternator conversion Post by: Dave_EH on March 09, 2006, 11:45:34 PM Hello,
My generator/regulator has failed. I wish to replace it with an alternator. I have sourced a rebuilt Bosch alternator from a 253 V8. I am unsure of whether my generator is lucas or bosch as the regualtor is aftermarket. Does the original brand of gen/reg matter? What is the process for wiring this up? How do you bypass the original remote regulator? Thanks in advance regards Dave Title: Re: Generator to Alternator conversion Post by: Dave_EH on March 11, 2006, 02:47:52 AM No tips at all? ??? ???

Title: Gen to Alt conversion - need more help! Post by: Dave_EH on March 14, 2006, 12:47:10 PM Hello,
I finally got a chance to pull out my old generator this afternoon and was planning to follow John's (Effie C) tips for the conversion. I think I have an HQ? alternator already fitted? It has an external regulator. Here is the old gen/alt that needs replacing (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Dave_EH/alt002.jpg) Here is the after market ingram regulator. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Dave_EH/alt004.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Dave_EH/alt005.jpg) Here is my new generator. It is also an ingram with internal regulator. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Dave_EH/alt003.jpg) I'm not sure if I can use this old external regulator as described in John's first method? Can someone please steer me in the right direction? Cheers Dave Title: Re: Generator to Alternator conversion Post by: Dave_EH on March 15, 2006, 11:25:01 AM ??? ??? ???
