HELP! External to internal voltage regulator/alt swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanx for the responses everyone!

I hooked the black wire to the bolt on the alt case for ground. (like "RageNRat" did on the FAQ page)

I wanted to keep using the rubber boot for the big post on the alt, so I ran the red jumper wire through the boot also.

Truck fire up fine, ammeter is looking good and no one can tell I swithched over becuase it looks like a stock set-up.

The only money I spent was on the alternator and the alt plug for the tabs.

This conversion took me about one-hour total, I highly recommend it!
Hope this thread helps someone else out.
