Battery not charging 1966 Dauntless V6 with Motorola Alternator

All of the Delco 10si and 12si are internally regulated (si=system integrated)

Good info here:

Thanks a lot for the info guys very helpful

 

I just ran out and got this alternator from down the street. wired it up and the jeep fired right up. ill have pics tomorrow. really appreciate all the help

 

I have a 67 Jeepster with the same V6 and might have a voltage regulator issue. Looks like this is a heck of a win to get a stronger alternator and rid myself of the external regulator which is getting hard to find anyway.

Does the ignition wire that went into the regulator and there is another wire going into the dash bundle go to the two small connector on the Delco alternator? Is that all there is to the conversion? (obviously the batt wire goes on the post with nut) Seems a little too simple..........hope that's all there is because I love this idea!

 

Found the proper wiring on another site for converting to the 10si........Thanks!

 

^ would you happen to have the link to the site?

 

The Motorola in my 68 died with less than 10k on the Jeep back in 71 and even then, there was no reason I could see to replace it with another turd. A 63A SI 10 Delco went on it and it is still on it.

If you have a good battery so there is some buffer, a 63A will work with a winch. 100A is better, but even that will not keep up with a winch pulling 400 to 500A. Short of maybe a Leece Neville, no common alternator is going to put out that kind of amperage.
