Miguels Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 mine already had an internal regulator.. looking at your picture it seems the wire already has the diode. if you see closely by the shrink tube where its black clse the the plug.. just plug it to a switched source and you will be charging. mechman did the diode for you my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
Miguels Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 i did this long before i was a member here and needed to upgrade my stock 40a alt due to adding electric fuel pump and dual electric fans so 40a wasnt enough. i got a stock chevy 105a alt. the diode or idiot light was the only way to make it charge. if i would have known about mechman i would have gotten a bigger alt my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

But yea, i see it now, i think you're right man. Now what exactly do i do with all the factory plug-ins for the old alt?

Miguels Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 no. check which one has the hot wire.. get a light tester and see which one is hot when you turn the car on. then splice into that one.. you can also go on ebay and find a plug in play plug but why spend $20 when you can do it for free my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
