Hey guys, was gonna try and go out on the Comet's maiden voyage, but the dame alt light is coming on. I checked the search button:bananaman, and decided to go with a GM alternator, and just do away with the voltage reg. I think somethings goin on with the wiring. I still have to install this oil pressure switch too. Other than that, she runs great. Needs a donut gasket too, and my duals put on. ...thanx for listening.
We just had a good thread about converting to the GM one-wire, maybe a month ago. I have been very happy with my swap. Good luck Here is the page where we really got into the details...http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=42611&highlight=alternator&page=3
my alt. is a 95 amp/3 wire alt from a 1998-2002 F450-F900 truck, and it works fine. It has the proper case style, and it fits right on our brackets. Frank and Earl this is why we went with the 3-wire. Good explaination here: http://www.madelectrical.com/electri...hreewire.shtml thanks Grabber71...:Handshake
Could be the electronic voltage regulator. Try revving the engine to about 3-4000 and see if it will kick in. I went through 3 regulators before I found one to kick in around 1000 rpm.
