Do I Need This Part?
 

I'm Cleaning up my wireing and this is bulky Do I need it or can I get rid of it
I checked LMCtruck Catalog and it is labled as a Voltage Regulator It has to do with the Alternator I think, I have a 1 wire Alternater in my truck So Can I chuck it or is there something I need to do before I can chuck it Or should I just buy a New one since it looks old....If I need to keep it Does anyone know where I can buy the correct (RUBER MOUNTS) Ruber spacers and screws to mount it back Thanks..........

If you have a one wire alternator then Toss it!!!!!

You should have a jumper wire for your harness to take it's place.
I wouldn't throw anything away until your project is done! Just put all the not needed items in a box and let it sit until your done.

Hawker7 The cheapest and simplest way to convert to a single wire internal regulator alternator and maintaining the stock wiring harness is to use converter kit. But first you have to identify the alternator type that you will be using (see attached picture).
Normally if you are going to buy an alternator to replace the stock one with a single wire it would be an SI

For CS Alternators use part #37787 converter kit by M&H Electric Fabricators
