: Hi there
: First the alt that you bought is it a "one wire hookup" the kind with an internal voltage regulator, or a "3 wire hook up" the kind with an external voltage regulator.???
: also what brand or vintage is the altfor?
: I am assuming that you are converting to 12 volts...
: and is the new altenator a negitive or postive ground???
: The hook up is prety simple if you take some precautions>
: 1) always unhook the battery first un hook both leads starting with the ground or - terminal.
: 2) remove the existing charging system
: 3) IF YOU ARE CONVERTING TO A ONE WIRE HOOK UP STYLE ALT YOU SHOULD BE ALSO CONVERTING YOU ELCTRICAL SYTEM TO A NEGTIVE GROUND
4) INSTALL THE NEW ALT
5) RUN A HEAVEY GAUGE WIRE FROM THE ALT TO THE POSTIVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY UES THE ALT RECOMDATIONS ON WIRE GA. SIZE TO LENGTH RATIO.I WOULD GUES A #8 GA WIRE.
