Jonathan;

If you mean help you in person, I don't think so...I don't even know where you are!... but I can help you with info and a kit, if that's what you mean!

Cheers

I've done it. But not 'empirically' - i.e. with lots of detailed instructions.

What I did was get the 140 series alternator and regulator (I happened to have a Marchal on hand, most people seem to prefer the Bosch). Fitting on the block requires an adaptor if you have a B18 - I have a B20 block so that was simple. Then I just looked at a 140 series wiring diagram - all the terminals are gernally labelled on the diagram and on the gadget. You could reuse some of the existing wiring in the new fashion, but it's probably better to just make a new wiring loom.

i did exactly the same thing. pulled everything including the harness from a local yard for 20 bucks(i got the motorola regulator). it was a snap. i can actually see at night!
