Alternators for crossflow...WTF

Recommended Posts

I have a spare 60 amp XF Alt and I just bought a 2nd hand VN Alternator to rebuild into the XF case....

Soon as I have some free time and back not giving me hell I am going to have a go at swapping it over.

 

I get too much voltage drop with AC on etc on the Lane....

 

May also play around with a EA Alt if I can find one in my travels next time I am at U-Pullit and see if I can find a suitable top bracket of another car to suit.

how many amps do u want. i brought a vn 85 amp alt to strip into original cases but theres stuff all difference. change the pulley, bottom mounts needs a spacer i used a 19mm nut over the bolt and a jumper wire to the reg. if you get your hands on a commodore one and compare it to yours you will see. Before that 1 got a 100amp chrome one like on ebay but you need to use an external reg. big pain in the arse to find one these days. Theres a curved top alternator bracket that fits the straight up mount on the commodore alt.
