Re: Alternator question

Thanx again.

Ok, I'm going to wait for vette to hopefully chime in again (no offense please, you are very helpful and MUCH better than I at this). But, why would not, there is agreement that he is the best

Anyway - here is what I'm looking at, please tell me if I'm correct.

The part number you gave (12SI, 94 amp, at 3:00 (AC-DELCO # 321-266 1984 High performance Chevy Camaro, with 5.0L (305G) engine, 94amp alternator) would give me the correct pulley and clock (I don't have air tools, but could go to a shop if I had too, and the video looks quite easy once the pulley is off).

By the way, my alternator is pretty close to the valve cover, are these bigger? If so, I might need to hunt down a longer belt? See pics below for clearance and clocking advice please.

Then the adapter kit you gave the link https://www.classicindustries.com/pr...s/ca27555.html

After that, splice together the blue and brown wires from the regulater.

As far as the actual alternator, I have red, black, white and blue wires.

Is the current red + one big enough? If not what gauge should I use? And should I wire my fan here?
Is my current black ground big enough?

Then white wire to the new alternator #1 terminal.
Then blue wire to the new alternator #2 terminal.

And finally are the following correct?

This will keep my ammeter working.
No idiot light - no problem.
No pulley swap.
No need to mess with the other 2 wires on the regulator.
No need for fuseable links, resistors, etc.
