Gasser alternator modified to D24 - How-to-guide
 

I had a bunch of gasser alternators laying around, so i modified one, just for shits and giggles :p

I thought I would make a short "how to" tutorial, with a couple of pictures.

Locate the three wires who sits next to each other...

You have to solder a wire to one of the three points, it doesnt matter which one... I chose the one on the picture :)

Pull the wire out the back of the alternator, make sure it wont be pinched or squeezed..

Have fun :)

Great tutorial!

Did you use the pulley from the diesel alternator or were they the same diameter?

What is the amperage of the "new" alternator?

Thanks! :)

The pulley on the alternators a are tiny bit different in diameter. I did not think about swapping the pulleys that day, but i will do that next time the thing has to be taken apart :p

Did you relocate the alt to PS pump bracket?

No, same location.

Later Euro market 700/900 diesels had the alternator where the PS pump is on the older US cars. ;) All 3 accessories on the LH side stacked on top of each other, with a remote PS reservoir like a gasser 700 series.

Don't know what year this started, sometime after '86 which was the last year we got them here.

alternator EUROPE VS USA
 

I don't like the alternator being low in the us model.
I think it is smarter to have it as high as possible.
Someone could make a strong replica of the euro version for owners here in the usa.
