I have a one wire 12v alternator that doesn't get excited to charge. It has been checked out, but needs more rpm's to get going. I would like to convert back to 3-wire. Has anyone done it?

Thanks in advance!

All you need is to swap out the existing internal regulator with a "standard" (two terminal) Delco regulator. NAPA, your local starter/alternator shop, etc will have the regulator - figure about $10 or so.

Changing the regulator is straightforward. Simply remove the 3 bolts that hold the alternator front and rear castings together then pull the rear one off. The regulator is mounted on the inside of the rear casting.

Bob, when they use the One Wire type regulators in the 10 SI, is that where the solid plastic plug looking thingy is in place where the two lil spade terminals are located on the standard three wire units????
