I've been lurking through some old threads where people have claimed to use a GM style 3-wire internally regulated alternator in place of a factory Bosch still unit. I am hoping to do the same thing.
Can anyone that has successfully done this conversion share some pics or part numbers for an alternator that might work? I realize there may be some custom bracket fabrication involved. I am looking for a way to add some amperage, remove the external regulator, and not break the bank. Thanks |

QUOTE(boxsterfan @ Apr 30 2017, 11:02 PM)  That's exactly what I'm looking for... just trying to find where to buy such an alternator and what the part number / manufacture might be. Nope, I don't need 150 amps, probably half of that would suffice. But, I'll take what I can find. Thanks for the link. I may PM McMark for some specs if he is willing to share. |

This member was offering a bolt on kit. Bit spendy for my tastes.
