Re: generator to alternator conversion

Hey Glen!

I used 8 gauge from the alt to batt and then from batt to starter ( fusable link here ) and the alternator is a 24 amp'er so I think I'm good? I also repurposed the GEN wire which looks like 10g from the Regulator harness to the ALT stud.

I have been repurposing most of the cloth wire as its in excellent condition and perfect length for this conversion. I even used the 6v coil wire to power up the HEI relay above the starter on the passenger firewall.

I dropped a wire from the I terminal on the 2 position key switch ( but has 3 outputs...B attery....I gnition....A ccesory) and jumped it through a push button hidden under the dash for starter engagement.

ps the choke came today in a usps envelope? I owe you In and Out again!
