I read an article on it somewhere before. It was done in that situation to cut down interference with radio equipment. It seemed fairly straightforward. If you're interested, I'll see if I can dig up the article...
: : Anyone ever replace their alternator and voltage regulator with a newer style alternator with the internal regulator? I was wondering if it was an easy splice up job.
: : Thanks
: It's cheaper to stay with the external regulator. Just get a larger AMP alternator. The 5.25 goes up to 75 AMP. There is also a 6.5 that goes over 100 AMP, just have to make some alterations to the wiring harness.
: Intenal Alternators I've seen start around $125-150. The stock alternator is around $40(?) and the regulator $15-20. Just saves space and makes it look purdy without the external regulator.
: Could just do like the racers and put the alternator run off the drive shaft. Then relocate the regulator and battery to the trunk. Thinking of doing that myself.
: Oh...not trying to be a smart ass. Just noting...
