Yes i am....That's perfect, Thanks mate.
Hi mate, Im updating to a Bosch R55 reg. Its the first time I've used this type of alternator and wasn't sure how to wire it up.It would help if we knew "where it was going" and "what you have" for a voltage regulator. Free shop manuals are at MyMopar AS WELL AS simplified diagrams such as AbodyJoe posted showing the VR hookup
That electrical scheme was started in 1970 and is known properly as an "isolated field" because the earlier alternators had a single field connection with the other end grounded. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH a meter that there is no continuity to ground (shouldl be open/ infinite) from either field connection to ground. MANY rebuilts come through with missing insulators on the brush holders
You can use that with the old style VR by grounding one field connection and hooking the remainder to your old VR
Little off topic but it may help in the future.
One of the best tools I ever bought for my Dart was a laminated wiring diagram. It cost about $20 and I use it all the time.
how does this wiring to alt look for guys who put modern swap engines in their cars with stand alone efi?
do i just ditch the regulator? alt is internally regulated on newer alts i believe are they not??
gen3 hellcat hemi and holley efi for reference.
Went to a square back alternator and flat style voltage regulator years ago. Not long ago I changed the squareback to a 80 amp denso cause I run a cooling fan for the summer. Need to change to double v belt pulley but still charges very well.
