dynamo to alternator conversion

[corsair dean]

how easy is this to do is a major re-wiring nightmare?

[Guest]

Theres an article in last months Classic Ford mag on doing it.

 

Following the pics it seemed easy enough

anyone actually done the conversion?

It's a common conversion and straight forward to do. You use most of the wires already there join 2 together at the regulator end for the warning light and use thick reds back to the battery.

 

I didn't get the mag last month and not done one for a while but i'm sure someone will give you a better idea ?

If you use a standard Lucas type ACR alternator, then the wiring is simple:

 

Wire from battery +ve (usually taken from solenoid) to Alternator +ve (one of the two big spade connectors).

 

Warning light wire to small spade connector on alternator. You need to make sure that the warning light is wired Battery +ve -- warning light -- alternator.

Voila!!!
