[Tigers] Generator to Alternator Conversion

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Some questions about fitment... 


Any problems aligning pulley with the ones on the crank and water pump? Regular stock size V belt (thickness and length) work okay? 



Thanks, 


Gene

That would be the PowerMaster 82101 or the 82101-2 with indicator light 
terminal. These are one-wire types so you bypass all your regulator harness. I 
go tired of generator bearings burning out (they somehow don't like 7K shift 
points) on my 289 HiPo engine and went this way to look stock. The other 
advantage is you don't have to kluge brackets onto your car. They are at 
Summit Racing, not cheap at $369 and $389 for the indicator model, but you'll 
have twice as much juice at idle as the old generator put out at WFO.

If you are interested in an alternator that closely resembles the Ford OE 
generator, there was a discussion on this topic on the CAT Forum last week. It 
is my understanding that they fit into the existing bracket. Downside...pretty 
expensive.
