MarkAubuchon Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Just finished the swap over from 12 volt generator to a one wire alternator. Only question is why did'nt i do this sooner. Bought the alternator for George Asche, and the bracket from vintage garage. Hardest part of the switch was painting the bracket. Converted to negative ground, connected one wire from alternator to battery side of the regulator. Starts right up and everything works great.

Sam Buchanan Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Excellent! The only reason for keeping a generator/regulator is for originality. Operationally, the alternator is superior in every way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJK Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Just ordered one from Howard Enterprises. Thanks Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAubuchon Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Good to hear, I also talked with Howard. Original isn't as important now as reliability is. As I have previously mentioned I have driven my car to portland, detroit and vermont even though I have had the generator rebuilt and matched to the regulator by professionals, i still had charging problems.
