Any alternator guys help out with this one...?
Pulled my alternator off to diagnose no charging issue and rebuild. I noticed there was no condenser which im sure is ok due to the lack of radio or other electronics. There is a jumper wire inside and a metal jumper on the outside. Does anyone know the purpose for the jumper inside? Im trying to figure out how to go about installing the new kit. I have never seen these modifications.

Re: Any alternator guys help out with this one...?
I'm wondering what the glob of stuff is near each end of the rectifying diodes?
That's the 6 pack of diodes in the finned heat sink. |

Re: Any alternator guys help out with this one...?
If youv'e converted to 12V,I would SUGGEST, just buying a 1 wire alt. Instead of usuing that case,and the unknown,you would be better off just replacing it. Thhey aren't expensive= less than a hun,and you will know that it will be correct. Besides,what else could be fried in yours......
Just a suggestion is all,but,without a crap shoot,You just might solve your problem and never have to worry about it. Plus,cleans up wiring. |

Looks like an earth link. Many of these Delco units had a link made of pressed and folded steel. It probably went missing under the bench.
The melted looking stuff was a glue substance that was used to eliminate vibration. You can put a condenser externally. |

Re: Any alternator guys help out with this one...?
It looks like it was an attempt to set it up as a positive ground alt and if the rect is pos ground stuff will melt down on your neg ground system. Buy a neg ground rect and and a AC fired VR.
You can put together and be go to go, Under $40 bucks. The AC fired VR will eliminate the diode trio and the Alt will turn on at ultra low speed. If you cannot get an AC VR get one for a 21si and wire it in. I would not use a drop in self excited VR.
