<VV> Re: Gen to One-Wire Alt Conversion

Where did you lose it, Joel?<G>
Really, unless your powering accessories, the gen is good.
It probably just needs a $5 set of brushes or a $2 bearing, eh?

yea, Vairily ... Shaun

  Subject: WC: Gen to One-Wire Alt Conversion


  After losing the generator on my '61 Rampside, I decided I might was well convert to a one wire alt set up. (with the camper and an extra battery I'm going to need the additional charging capacity)  Last night I changed the oil filter housing from gen to alt and installed a freshly built alternator.  I followed the instructions in "The Classic Corvair" for the install, including the hook up requried for the "Gen" dash light.  However, short of disconnecting both the wires running to the "1" and "2" plugs on the new alt, I can't get the dash light to go off WHEN THE IGNITION IS IN THE "OFF" POSITION.

  Help!

  Regards,
  Joel
