Is this an alternator?

Post by bloodyank »

I'm ordering a new full loom (harness over here), and need to know if the engine has an alternator conversion..[frame]Image[/frame]

Certainly is. I don't think it's a good idea to mount the coil on the alternator like that, something I've heard on here. Best place to mount it is on the inner wing.

Yes - but it may not have the standard 'plug' that will come with your harness. And definitely - move the coil away from the AC eddy currents of the alternator- and mount it vertically UP on the inner wing.

Looks great! What size diameter wheels are those - 13" or 14"?
