Help needed with sb 318
Alternator back in. Found my charging problem. When beast first arrived, we had a small short in the system, which over time would bleed the battery down when parked. Solved that problem with a 30 amp relay switch that cuts the charging circuit when the ignition was shut off. Apparently that was fried. When I bypassed the relay, voltmeter went to 14+ volts and was charging. That will be an easy fix.
But now for that alternator. It is a 60 amp Delco one wire alternator in a very big frame. Whoever installed it also fabricated a two piece mount. One side on the engine block.......the other belt tension side to the chasis. As mounted so the fan belt pulley will line up right, the back side rubs on the valve cover. Bottom line........I want to get this ironed out right.
Since this is a one wire system........am now looking for a Delco alternator in 60 am range that will mount up without modification into the stock Mopar mounting brackets. I have no clue what model that would be and no salvage yard or auto parts store guy is going to know either. The reason for going Delco is it appears to be a sealed unit. May survive the dust and dirt better than one with open windings.
So anybody know what model Delco I'm looking for? Or what vehicle it may come off?
