How to connect car alternator ignition | car alternator ignition wiring
In this episode I replace the old externally regulated and unreliable 12 volt GM alternator with a remanufactured Delco 10si GM alternator. There were some differences in wiring, so I took a few minutes to explain how to connect the alternator, from charging to exciting to regulating. I also replaced my ammeter with a voltmeter for simplicity sake. All the work is done on my 1964 early CJ5, Willys Jeep with the F-134 engine. It was converted to a GM style 12 volt alternator way back in the day, and finally needed an upgrade. The wiring I explain is fairly universal, from an old Jeep like this to a muscle car or hot rod with the standard three wire alternator. I also talk about what the exciter wire and idiot light do. Thanks for watching, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
12 Volt Conversion Kits
Vintage Auto Garage started over 15 years ago, offering single voltage regulator/reducer to power original oil, gas, and temperature gauges when converting classic cars and trucks from 6 volt to 12 volts. Since then, Vintage Auto Garage has developed complete 6 to 12 volt conversion kits for almost every American classic make and model.
Our kits have been shipped to every continent in the world, used by every antique auto that was built with the original 6 volt positive or negative ground electrical systems. You can find all of our kits by year, make, and model below, and if for any reason you do not find one of the kits on our site, we likely still have the conversion parts available and are likely in the process of adding it to the site in the future.
If you have a project, large or small, that requires conversion from 6 to 12 volts, and you cannot find your vehicle in our inventory, click on submit your project and one of our team members will send you a complete list of parts for your specific classic auto.
