Alternator on allis c

[old wheels]

I am working on a c . Want to put a alternator on it. what kind would work best? thanx.

 

[old]

The 2 Cs we have both have the common Delco 10SI on them and they work just fine. I do use the small body type and make my own brackets to hold them

The DELCO 10SI used on all chevy (GM) products from 1965- 1985 is most common, bu the newer GM CS130 is a little smaller and fits real nice. You have to make brackets for either. I have also used a Denso off a Honda.. Just make sure you get one that has the internal voltage regulator and then you dont need an external box (regulator).

That bad advice gonna get somebody into trouble with an alternator that's not what they were expecting!!

The 10DN alternators, used from the early-mid 60's through about 1972 were EXTERNALLY regulated.

The 10SI units that came out about 1973 and had INTERNAL regulators were used though about 1986 or 1987 on Chevy pickups, etc..

Delco 10DN, which needs an EXTERNAL regulator.

Delco 10SI (Systems Integrated) which has an INTERNAL regulator with a simple way to connect it up to replace a generator,

The internal regulate voltage was not on an alternator made by Delco/GM till in the late 70s. Ones in say a 1965 had external regulators which you do not want on a tractor. Not trying to flame you but you need to get your info more up to date. Me I always say use an alternator from a 1980 Chev pick up NO power any thing and that gets them right in the ball park

Bob, if the 10SI has an internal voltage regulator, why are you running the drawn in wire to the Batt terminal on a voltage regulator and not the amp meter?

On one of our Cs we used an alt. off a Mitsubishi "Mity Max" one from a Dodge "D50" would be the same. This unit is fairly compact & with nothing more than a spacer, you can use the original generator bracket. With the chicken roost steering rod, you don't have as much clearance as a B has.

chalmersbob,

On the application that was drawn for, which previously used a generator, I tossed out the old regulator for the generator and then connected the alternator's output to the wire that used to be connected to the BATT terminal on the regulator.

The other end of that wire terminates at the ammeter.

So, there's nothing "tricky" about my drawing, it simply saved having to run a new wire to the ammeter, and it worked well 'cause the existing wire was in good shape and of adequate size to handle the output of the 45 Amp alternator I used.

I hope that makes it more clear?

Check out a Hitachi #14231 Much smaller than a Delco. 52.99 and a 7.50 core charge at O Reilly
Auto parts store. There is a lot of wiring info
on all the forums about this conversion.
Good Luck
