This video describes the procedure for converting your automotive generator based charging system to an alternator based system. This happens to be a 1962 Willys CJ-5 that we are working on, but, the process may be similar for other vehicles, too. We used a kit that included the A200 mounting bracket, a Delco alternator, a wiring harness and various pieces of hardware. We installed the A200 mounting bracket which holds the alternator. The most difficult part of the job was getting the mounting bracket set up and properly aligning the alternator with the water pump and crankshaft pulleys.The alternator has an internal voltage regulator so we removed the original external voltage regulator that was used with the generator. We re-wired the feed that used to come from the voltage regulator for the vehicle's electrical system, wired up the new alternator and swapped out the old ammeter for a new volt gauge. If your one wire alternator didn't come with the white wire that I hooked to the ignition, just connect the main alternator wire up like I do in the video. Everything is working great now.
