Mr. Story,
I feel that a picture is worth a thousand words. So, I'm attaching a picture of
my converted alternator (Bob, For the benefit of all, please include the
attached picture with this reply) If you still have questions after viewing the
picture, I'd be happy to try to help out.
Mark S.
P.S. I CC'd you at your email address, just in case the picture gets stripped
from my reply. <captd1@earthlink.net>:
In reference to Mark S.'s Alt conversion procedure, I hope either he or others could answer some questions. Here is an Alt pic to help in visualization (I did shrink it Marv). The "B" terminal is top right, regulator top left, and on the center round plug the two right prongs are connected for field "F". After removing the regulator the instructions state to make a phenolic brace for the left side of the brush assembly. He also states that the left brush should be soldered, and a line run out for "F". If the left brush IS "F" then it could just go on the screw terminal?? BUT, it also says to jumper the right brush terminal to Ground/case?? That seems like a very bad idea since the right brush terminal is also hard wired to "B" top right? I really prefer not to blow up my alternator, and appreciate any wisdom, or perhaps clarify my misunderstanding. I did pay for Bob N.'s book by the way, but he enjoys explaining theories of electrical atoms, I just want to wire from point A to B without any sparks. ;-)
Thank you,
D. Story
