Delco Alternator question

[NC_Mule]

[QUOTE=SafeAirOne;98782]No. It accomplishes the same thing as having the one wire going from the ignition switch terminal #1 to the always-hot side of the fuse panel, just make sure the connection is insulated and secured (I'm presuming you've eliminated the external regulator completely).

Yes, VR is gone. Ok cool, I'll go make a insulated final connection.
A few more things to finish my Alt bracket, measure for a belt and I will be finished. I'll post some pics when everything is completed. The bottom mount required fabrication so I figured if I'm going to be making a new bracket I'd rather stand up then lay on my back so I ended up mounting the Alt up high.

As always thanks for the info.

It's alive!
Fitted my belt yesterday and after 2 days of testing I'm ready to put this project behind me. I'm patting my self on the back for completing my first design and welding project. Homemade bracket fits perfect and pulleys align nicely. I used 3/16x3/4 flat stock and had my final bracket and welds inspected my a fab buddy of mine. He approved and said it will hold up just fine. I need a little bit longer top bracket. I didn't make it, it's off a 1930 Model A. If it were a little longer I could rotate the alternator further from the header. When I pull the trigger on a plasma cutter I'll make a longer one. Forgot to take a pic of the final bracket but the pic of it clamped together for tack weldind pretty much shows what it looks like.
Per the Madmax page you really don't know what output alternator you are going to actually receive because all the parts are mixed up during the rebuild. I ordered a 63amp but the test sheet said it rated at 87. I also learned that they seem to be 1 wire/3 wire universal. One of my pics is of a black plug on the alternator. That's actually a jumper plug. Keep that in and it's a one wire, pop it out and install the wire harness and it's a three wire. Down the road when I have high use items like heated seats and/or winch I'll make it a three wire for better current sensing. For now my stock rover is fine with the sensor jumped.

Thanks for every ones help, it's nice to have it back on the road.
