generator to alternator

[drnittler]

To convert a 62 Lark from generator to alternator, can the in place wires be used? If so which wire is left out? Field, Arm, or Ground?
Which is which?

There are a variety of alternators that would work or that could be made to work. Each would wire differently.

you can use a one wire gm alternator and eliminate most wires and just run one wire to the battery terminal.

As to wiring the one wire gm alternator I've been told you can wire it the voltage regulator on the Battery terminal.
