so my best bet is to go with a gm alternator? how would i rig it up? im worried about no frest air duct as well
do i need to worry about volatge regualtors then if i have a internal ground alterantor?
Hey Curtis, ive been doing a bit of research on this, what you want is a "one wire alternator" it hooks up just how it sounds, 1 wire going from the back of the alt. to the possitive connector on the battery, and a belt from the "drive pulley" on the side of the engine that spins constantly. Make & rig up brackets of some kind & thats it ! As soon as i sell some stuff off, I am going to try this, i found "mini GM 1 wire altenator" on ebay, amazon etc for around $90. + shipping. Its small and will more than do the job.
Im going to cut spaces out of the shroud , just enough to make room for the alt & belt. I dont think it will effect the cooling because it will still draw air..

thanks kris,just back from the argo and i just put all ne wire in that comes out of the stator and goes to the regulator! if that dont fix the problem i dont know what to do.actually i will just buy an alternator and use that becuase this kohler magnum in my argo is getting on my last nerve when it comes to charging the battery.keep me posted on how and when you cut the holes in the shroud or fresh air duct! thanks for the link!!
Hey Kris, I paid $80 cash (Canadian cash) for my 37 AMP alternator from an alternator shop in Ajax (10 minutes from you). I'm sure there are a few shop in Oshawa that have what your looking for on the shelf for a much better price than what your looking at $90 alt +$55 Shipping + duty as that link says they ship UPS. It will be 1/2 price to buy it locally.
can you get it at any wajax store?
Wow thanks Steve ! I will definitely check local suppliers for sure !
