240Z Turbo Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 I just received my Delco Remy 104A alternator and want to put this badboy on the car. There are 2 connectors on the backside of the alternator. Which one does what? Also, I have seen the conversion for external regulation to internal for the later 280Z, but is there a specific site for converting the 73 240Z to internal regulation. Any help is appreciated!

Mike C Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Here is a link on making the GM alternator a "one wire" externally. The JTR manual has the specifics on converting to internal alternator and removing all extraneous wiring. http://www.roadlessgear.com/html/techarticles/gmalt/ Actually, found this link from Zcar.com http://www.z-car.com/510/regulated_alternator_faq.html It's for a 510, but wiring should be very similar. May want to browse zcar as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted April 2, 2002 Author Share Posted April 2, 2002 Thank you for the response. It is now hooked up and running very well. Lights are much brighter and fan is running like it should. May be a partial source for the car running hot. The swap was cake and took about 1hr while drinking a beer and verifying all the wires. I used the powermaster 8002 100Amp jobber and you do not have to jack with the voltage regulator stuff if you are gonna run it as a single wire alternator. Anyway, 1 more problem fixed!

Mike C Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Excellent. I bought a Powermaster 100 amp alternator for my JImmy. I'll remove the external regulator on it as well. The Z will also receive the GM alternator if I ever run out of used Nissan ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
