its easy. Pick an alternator, build a bracket, wire it up, find a belt that fits.

Here's how I did mine.

Hey Curtis,

I'm running three of these GM-based one-wire alternators on different machines. In order to wire these to your existing electrical system, follow these detailed steps:

Step 1: Run a wire from the alternator to the battery terminal on the starter.
Step 2: Enjoy.



EDIT: I don't know how much room you have to work with in your engine bay, but I buy the physically larger remanufactured units from our local auto supply store for less than half what DB electrical is asking on the unit you posted. They tend to be closer to 65 amp output at 3,000 rpm or so, but the trade off, again, is that they're probably 50% larger than the above unit. If space isn't an issue, head down to the NAPA in Corner Brook and have a look at what they've got. Something out of a late 70s passenger car or pickup works fine.

Here's one in my 980.

so just run that one wire frommthe alternator to the starter?

There is nothing wrong. With my flywheel now so how would I rewire that alternator up?

Like it was posted, its just that easy.....

[ARGOJIM]

Wire it up, unplug the fuse from the charging system and place it under the seat for any future emergency ( you can then simply plug it back in and charge normally from engine system) if the alternator fails, start and drive.

Making the mount will be the hardest part of this install/upgrade.

[curtisbyrne]

So just run that one wore to the starter or battery?

[curtisbyrne]

Also where is a good place to mount it on a magnum? The steering lever frame where the brake cylinders are? Also will it be good to just run the belt around the puller on the flywheel

[curtisbyrne]

Looked at it today wouldn't work by the master cylinder,so where I'm stumped?
