Hi Lou, Tom and the alpine community,
I am in the process of replacing my generator with an alternator. Lou the
bracket you made for me fit fine. It is all bolted up except for the
adjusting nut on top. Tomorrow I will pick a correct threaded bolt for it.
All the wiring was straight forward until I went under the dash to connect
the "R" terminal or in my case the "S" sensing connection. My Series II
alpine looked like it had a charge indicating lamp until I noticed it was
not connected.(no wonder why it never worked!) The previous owner spliced
in a toggle switch in its place ( I think). There is a yellow wire and what
seems to be a black wire to the toggle switch. The car was set up so you
could not start or shut down the car with out the toggle switch. My dilemma
is where do I connect the "R" terminal wire per Tom's Conversion article.
And since the car seems to have had a charge indicator, will I need to wire
in a heavy duty 15 ohm resistor per the article? I would like to also have
the indicator lamp working, does anybody have a indicator bulb holder? Is
there a place where I can view a wiring diagram to properly connect the
ignition wires? Does anyone have a digital picture of a series II dash, I
would like to make sure all of the gauges are in the right place?
Thanks in advance for your input.
John
