[FC] Alternator

[Wild8bill at aol.com]

Be careful if you get a one-wire from bay seller Larry's Corvair, they sold 
 me a standard alternator and billed me for a high output one-wire. I was 
pulling  my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn't get it to charge 
correctly.  Exhaustive research and help from this message forum figured out 
the problem. LS  Corvair said it was under warranty, but I had popped it open 
to see if there was  a wire loose inside, voiding that. I'm sure they just 
mistakenly picked the  wrong one off the shelf, but inspect your new 
alternator before you get to  monkeying with it. I got it to work by digging my old 
voltage regulator out of  the trash, so I basically ended up with a rebuilt 
alternator instead of a  one-wire.
 
-do an internet search for one-wire conversions, there are all sorts of  
wiring diagrams available showing you what to do with the regulator, or not to 
 do.
