Generator/alternator conversion...what's involved?

[Starbuck]

I want to convert my 67 GT from positive to negative ground (no problem there) and I also want to convert from the current generator to an alternator.
It would be a high amp GM conversion for reliability reasons, etc.
Has anybody done this and what is involved (besides getting an alternator)
Thanks,
Monte

I did the saturn alt conversion on my 80 LE. Still working and pretty straight forward.(1967 wiring harness in the car) Instructions can be found online if you search it out.Bob

Go to www.mgaguru.com and do a search under the electrical index. Barney has complete and detailed instructions.
