This one wire setup is very simply to install and you only have 1 wire coming off the alt. (two wires if you have a warning light and want it to work) The single wire can attach to the battery side of your fender solenoid or all the way back the battery side of a rear master cutoff.

Well worth the $30!

Well speak up,tell us what you think about it.

I have read(I know thats what gets me into trouble)
that you can use a stock chevy alt models s10 or something like that.
But I dont know for sure which one,and how to wire it or mount it.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

The alternator from any late 70's chebbie product will do. Doesn't have to be a single wire alternator either. The large bolt hole needs to be drilled out to 7/16" (chebbie only used a 3/8" dia bolt). Other than that you'll need a slightly different spacer (shorter I think), then bolt it on.

As far as wiring hook one 8 ga to the output terminal of the alternator. Then run an exciter wire from the solenoid to the spade terminal on the Delco alternator. That's all there is too it.

Get one for $20 at the junk yard.

p.s. This is the last time I'm gonna tell you about this, unless you actually do it and need a picture or something.

I ran it with a 6" crank pulley and a 4" alt pulley. So the rpms were not too bad on it. Buddy of mine has one that's about 5 years old. His is on a C302B headed 383. Shifts it at 8500+. Only has a 4" crank and stock 2" alt pulley, so the alt is really spinning fast. He has burned up an alt or two with the rpm, but the regulator works fine. The last time he got a good rebuilt alt like I did. No problems since.

Later,
David Cole

BTW, I would use one of these on my dragster if I could find a crank pulley that would work with my damper, a crank trigger, and a belt drive fuel pump mandrel.

Since you already have a new Ford alternator, I would use Dave's mini regulator!

Ok I wont ask you agian,then you should just go ahead and delete the 20 emails I sent you about it too.

I'll look into the little conversion kit that Dave is talking about.That way I could just run the one 8 gauge wire to the switch and this will all be over.

Three more questions,

1.When you disconect the old voltage reg,then you just cap off those wires?

2. What dose the one wire set up ground to.

3.I have some kind of condesor on the back of the alt to I think it's for the Radio r something,can I just remove it too?

Thanks for the help,I hate to keep asking all these questions.

{Yes}

{The chassis of your car through the alternator's case and the engine}
3.I have some kind of condesor on the back of the alt to I think it's for the Radio r something,can I just remove it too?
{Leave it there}

{Check out Dave's link to the regulator it has instalation instructions too}

AND then before long the motor will start rattling and making funny noises (like my 2002 S10 ZR2 ) and the Chebby dealer will tell you it's normal. It's for sale now. Bought a Navigator instead

YEP! GM JUNK!!!

But, the delco alternators are good, plentifull, dime a dozen, you can rebuild them, hot rod them and they fit on sbf's real easy.

Hope they go bankrupt. They prob will eventually. Their reputation is quickly sinking to the level of GER converters.

My brother the 55 chevy guy wanted to drop a 350 chevy in my mustang.
He had a free good running 350 motor and trans all ready for it.I told him theres no way I'd ever do that.It bad enough I helped them put it in my pops inlaw 55 ford pu.

I got the mini voltage reg today that was real fast.That thing is really small,I sure it works like Dave C said it does.

I worked with a kid who was building an '83 vert racecar, chebbie powered
He had some real nice work done to it; full roll cage, subframe connectors, motor plates (sbc ), crossmember for a 'glide, killer 8.8" rear. Moved back east, abandoned the car

Another reason my 65 is better.

No chevy powered Fords for.I say have one or the other,but dont mix them up.
I have an older HotRod mag that has a 68 all race mustang with a 350 chevy in it.
