    GM Powermaster alternator bracket build

    I figured that while I had the motor on the stand I would figure out my alternator bracket for the 1 wire GM powermaster alternator I picked up for this project. Heres some pictures of the bracket mods needed to fit it. As you can see I had to file a slight hollow in the alternator to allow...

    Alternator/voltage regulator issue?

    Hi all-- Ran into some fun electrical issues today. Voltage gauge was reading sub-12 and going lower while driving, which seemed like an obvious alternator issue. But the idiot light underneath the gauge would also start to glow as revs increased, leading me to suspect voltage-regulator...

    Nissan Frontier 70amp alternator fits the X 1/9

    I installed a 2000 Nissan Frontier alternator in my X 1/9 and I was able to mount it easily using the stock pivot mount. The alternator pulley was in alignment with the water pump pulley after I installed a 7mm spacer and a longer pivot bolt. The best part was that I didn't have to alter any of...

    Fitting Newer Voltage Regulator on Older Car?

    There's a voltage regulator from a '78 car on ebay and mine just went out, but it's a '75 and there are no voltage regulators in stock for my year. Is it possible to use a regulator from a newer car instead of my older one? The one on ebay has a black, grey and red wire but my current one only...

    Another GM Alternator Conversion

    With all of the electrical upgrades I have just completed, I had hoped to wrap everything up in a nice bow just in time for Christmas by installing the GM alternator. Installation was easy and painless. My results are not what I was expecting, however. I am getting a "good reading" of 12.3...

    alternator mod

    Hi, Since I had (have) the engine out of my X I thought I would try out the alternator mod everyone raves about. I thought I would share what I did thus far - since the engine is not in the car I have not completed the electricals just yet. You can see all of the pics here...

    Denso Alternator Conversion

    It turns out the 74' needed an alternator as the one that came with the car was never working.. properly, the lack of an alternator light with the ignition switch on should have been more than a clue as problem. Resulting in a dead battery.. A quick DVM check with a newly charged battery...
