Glad to hear it worked out for you. I also fought a squeal for a long time, finally figured out it was alignment since I was using new brackets and spacers
Thank you for posting! Tried to install one today and had issues with this. Thought there was a way to clock but wasn't sure the steps. This will make it easy!
I didn't know they made a one wire alternator for a classic Mustang. Sure wish they would have had these in 1985 when I was working on my 1965 mustang....lots of alternator issues. Great Video!!
Hello, very good video, I recently bought the same alternator for my 68 mustang, I want to know if when I connect I will lose the marker on my dashboard
Did you run a ground wire? You showed the terminal at the beginning of the video but didn't mention negative afterward. Or is it grounded through the mounting bolt to the block?
Hi, I’m Rey from California. We own a 68 Mustang GT with the Original 289eng, w a 4bb carb. My 3 wire alternator gave out.!. so I would like to replaced it with a tuff stuff 7068 1 wire.!. What bolt size do you have on your Engine block. I have a 7/16” bock. And What wire do I keep on my Starter Solenoid for my 68 Mustang.?.
Idk if you’ll be able to answer this but I was trynna reclock my alternator but did the whole process wrong ended up pulling the back part up to rotate like an idiot and a spring fell out of place and I’m not a car guy. In fact this is my first time trying this myself but I was wondering if you could inform me what the spring is or how to put it back into place if possible
Kind of hard to answer here, but I remember the first time that happened to me. That's a spring-loaded brush likely, just Google how to put new brushes in the alternator and that will show you how to remove and install them. It's real simple once you see it. Good luck!
No you shouldent even need it if your install a one internely regulated alternator. But fot shits and giggles you can hollow it out and store your your weed in it
Summit racing will also have the Scott Drake upper and lower alternator brackets you need if your galaxie was originally a generator car. You can ditch that huge generator bracket
I mean inbetween the battery and the solinoid you should put a 50 to 70 amp maxi fuse or a 50 to 70 amp automotive circuit breaker to replace the fusible link as a safty precaution
Great video! I saw that you tested your work, but can I ask what your process was for that? What do you set the multimeter to? I saw one end of the test lead on the battery, but I couldn’t see anything else. Thank you again for this!
Thanks for the kind words. I set my voltmeter to 20 volts DC, then I just put the negative probe on the negative terminal (I think that was behind my arm so you could not see it) then the positive probe on the positive terminal of the battery to confirm that the new alternator is charging at 14.xx volts or so. Let me know if you have any other questions!
