B414 generator to alternator swap

Hello,

I'd like to install an internally-regulated alternator to replace the generator on my B414 diesel. I searched the archives and I think I got most of the info I need. However, I'd like to pass it by you guys and gals to make sure.

Since the B414 already has a 12 volt system, I need to switch the electrical system to a negative ground. It's a diesel, so it appears that I only need to change the wiring at the ammeter (and battery of course!)
And I'll need to find a new power source for the light switch since the old regulator won't be used.

Mounting the alternator will require a bit of fabrication and perhaps a pulley change. I have the info on the wiring for both the 3 wire and 1 wire alternators. I am leaning towards the one wire variety.

Can it be that simple or am I missing something? Has anyone done this on the 414 and able to provide any tips?

A three wire alt. costs about 25 dolars at auto pro a one wire costs about 70 -80 dollars. Go to tractor talk disc. board and run a search there john of la has done a lot of work on this even to tell you what one to buy I just did my 560 wheatland and he is great.....

Don't see anything you've missed.You could get power to lights from "hot" side of ammeter or ign. switch. Good luck!
