Hello Jimmy- I didn't say anything about them because we were talking about the SI series alternators 10 SI and 12 SI. They already have the charging light or the resistance wire on the key switch for the 10 ohms resistance that they need. If You're going to install the newer CS style then you need more resistance but not necessarily the diode.

This thread tells about the conversions.
