Alternator conversion kit on 1962
I recently purchased a 1962 fleet side pickup that has a delco alternator with internal voltage regulator. The previous owner used a classic cars alternator conversion kit. Has anyone else used one? I am trying to find out how it is wired because a lot of my gauges don't work. Any help would be appreciated, I love this site and read posts often to learn more about my truck.
Thanks |

Re: Alternator conversion kit on 1962
It doesn't appear anyone has used the kit you mentioned. Do you know if the entire truck has been rewired, and if so by what kit, or is the rest of the truck stock except for the alternator circuit?

Search out MAD Electrical in California. Well respected info and products.
A ton of knowledge about Delco alternators and how to do classic car systems correctly, why you want to run 3 wire alternator, use relays on headlights, use a volt gauge, not amp, etc, etc.
