So my understanding is that on a 914-6, the original alternator does not have a voltage regulator on the alternator but instead, the VR is on the circuit board in the 2.5" tall rectangular tin enclosure.
The 911 engines have an integrated VR on their alternators, I believe. So when you go to replace an alternator on a -6 and all you can find is one for a 911 with an integrated VR, how is the wiring different? What happens at the circuit board? The notes on Pelican regarding their alternators just says "some wiring mods may be necessary", which is kinda vague. any thoughts? |
