Old Voltage Regulator

Hi, I have a 1972 C-10 Stepside and had the alternator rebuilt to a one wire type, can I remove the old voltage regulator and the associated wiring.

Re: Old Voltage Regulator

you need to take the blue wire and the brown wire and cut them and connect them together... the red and white wires are no longer needed

Re: Old Voltage Regulator

Here is more on the subject. Pay attention to the fact that your charging light won't work with a one-wire alt.

Re: Old Voltage Regulator

I see what you are saying about if you remove the blue wire the charging light will not work, so I will tie the brown and blue together and remove the other wires and voltage regulator.
