Ron. I'm not sure I have your correct email address.
Sent you several but got no reply. Couple of things I'd like to clear up with the installation of the kit. Do you have instructions
for cars with an existing 12v system?
My 1956 PV444 has a B18D engine. The previous owner
had the electrical system converted to 12v. The
instructions you sent pertains to rewiring my car from
6 volts to 12 volts. It seem there's quite a few
steps I should omit. According to your "after"
diagram, it seems all I need to do to prepare the
wiring for the alternator is connect the red D+ wire
from the generator to the B+ wire to the Ammeter.
An ammeter is already installed in the car, seems I
don't need to install an isolated stud to connect all
the red wires. Is this correct?
On page 2 of 4 in the instructions, in Step 4 the
third step reads, "use RED wire for field power to
Delco Remy alternator (Pin 1 of connector)." Your
"after" diagram shows terminal 1 on the alt as "Fld"
and terminal 2 as "Sens." However, the red wire from
the connector in your diagram actually connects to
terminal 2 "sens" and the "Bat" lug on the alternator,
ammeter etc. In other words, your instructions says
to connect the red wire to terminal 1"fld" but your
diagram is showing it connected to terminal 2 "sens."
Can you clear this up for me. Please take a close
look at the following paragraph.
The alternator I bought from the local parts dealer is
a new off brand, Delco Remy replacement. Terminal 1
on the alternator is labeled "R" and terminal 2 is
labeled "F". The Red wire from the supplied connector
that came with the kit, when plugged in, connects to
the "F" terminal of the alternator. Is this correct?
The white wire from the connector, according to your "after"
diagram, is not connected. However, on page 3 of 4 in
the instructions, step 12 suggest you check this wire
for ignition power if no charging is indicated when
the engine is started. Can you clarify this for me?
If anyone else on the forum is familiar with the SWEM kit, I'd
appreciate any imputs you may have. I'm a bit hesitant
about firing up the engime and frying a brand new $120.00
alternator.
Regards,
Patrick
