Niiiiiiice! Looks like effectively the same thing as the Jeepsterman setup (def. the same switch), only I'm guessing it cost MAYBE half what mine did

Thank you for this. I didn't hook up that dash wire initially and had some issues. Now it just needs a jump and should be good to go again--just need to actually do that. I'm optimistic though, and this alternator cleans up the stuff under the hood so much, it's really nice.Herk wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 12:29 pm I would caution against a 1-wire alternator on anything. However I would strongly advocate replacing the Motorola with a Delco 10SI or 12SI which eliminates the external voltage regulator. Why Jeep didn't use a GM alternator on GM engines is a mystery. They probably had a warehouse full of them and a contract to buy more.
I put a 12 SI on my 71 about 20 years ago and never looked back. Just run the "sense" (2) wire to the large binding post on the starter where all of the loads are bussed. The original wire from the dash lamp, mine was grey IIRC goes to the (1) terminal.
