68 Suburban · 08-22-2002, 07:52 PM

I would have posted it sooner, but I did not want to step on your toes. I thought mayby you liked sending all those e mails out

nu2-72 · 08-22-2002, 08:34 PM

No problem.com. You were not.net stepping on.com my toes. Oh crap, I'm.net seeing email in my.com sleep.
Thanks for the help.

gabet40 · 08-23-2002, 12:59 PM

so this article is just to convert your existing alternator to a one wire set up right? so if im planning on buying a new alternator i can just buy the one wire one and hook it up no problem?

nu2-72 · 08-23-2002, 11:41 PM

gabet40, yes this covers the conversion. The reason for the post however is that many people have asked what to do after the conversion. What wire size, what to do with the old wires and how to run it. This article also covers those questions. Yes you can buy one and just put it on if you like. I took my old one to a local alternator rebuilder and he converted it for me for $10.00 parts and labor. I could not buy one for that price. Or you can buy the parts and save some this way. Good luck

gabet40 · 08-24-2002, 10:05 AM

yeah i can tell this is an excellent idea if youve already got the alternator you want, but im plannin on dressin my engine up with a chrome or colored alt someday and right now i just have an old ugly one, plus i wasnt sure if we could just throw in a one wire alternator and it work with our trucks. and now thanx to you , i know that. but ill pass the info on to my friends that arent runnin one wire alt. thanx a lot

Nu272 and 68 Suburban,
Many, many thanks for your work on this one. I just bought a new chrome 1 wire and this will make the installation a snap. Kudos to both of you.
