My regulator or is it. Check it out!!
So I did a little work on the regulator to get my 105 amp alt. going.
1st is what I started with. 2nd what I removed.Used a dremel with cutoff wheel to cut rivets loose. 3rd what I added 10K ohm 1/2 watt resister and couple bolts. 4th bottom side 5th installed Looks like I still have oem regulator. I also put a spade on the brown wire from the alt. harness. Took the plug off factory harness and tucked the white wire back in the loom for safe keeping. Just unpinned the wires so ends are still there if I want to go back to original. Pluged in to alt. harness and away we go. Tried a different ohm resistor and would not charge. This one seems to work. I'm thinking the low watts have something to do with the high ohm resistor, but that's all I could find at the shack. I'm going to try and find a 3 watt 75 ohm and see if it works. I checked resistance at harness and it was at 10 if I'm using my multimeter correct. Tied 2 in a series and got 20 but would not charge with 2 installed. I don't see how 75 will work. I checked the alt. tester at work and while testing the regulator circuit it puts 11.35 volts to the L wire. So I pressume this will be what you need at a minimum to make alt. charge? |

Cool idea...
I guess your going for the FULL stock look then.

Re: My regulator or is it. Check it out!!
When I did mine, the FAQ on it said you needed a 47 ohm resistor. I got a pack of 5 at the shack for cheap, has worked for several years now.
PS, my resistor I just soldered onto one of the wires coming off the alternator itself. I wasn't going for the factory look, but you concept is cool.

Re: My regulator or is it. Check it out!!
Well I want peolple to wonder how it works, When I get the TBI on it will also look sorta stock with just the round air cleaner. I will have a few extras on the passenger side intake, such as sensors. I like my stuff to perform very well in all aspects and still look OEM.I will have headers if I can figure out some shorty's for it.Got the 700r4 today. It's setting in the garage floor now.

Re: My regulator or is it. Check it out!!
Here is the one in the FAQS but it is for trucks with the idiot light dash. There's not much difference but check my posts in the other thread by breezy in this forum. There are several links on the conversion and a zillion posts on it in the electrical forum.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=119379 If you want to convert to the CS like breezy has, then I have links for that too. The link I posted is for the SI series which requires a 10 ohm resistor whereas the CS requires more than 30 ohms.
