It's either in the electrical or misc section - but there is a link (http://www.camaros.net/techref/ftecref14.html) that explains the details. There is also a rather informative article recently with a link to an article about alternators. In particular, you'll want a 10si or 12si alternator. Try searching for one of these strings in the Electrical forum. -dnult John_Muha Jul 26th, 03, 06:07 AM If you have an extra $15.00 and you don't want to do any harness cutting or soldering, there are adapter kits. No electrical experience needed and done in around 20 minutes. As dnult said, get a SI alternator that is clocked right and it will drop right in. Use one of these kits for the wiring and you are finished. To see what I am talking about, go to this site. Look under 67 Camaro. Look for the SI alternator conversion kit. Click on the photo.

I think the 100 amp units are around $100. I just bought a polished Powermaster 100 amp alternator with internal reg for $129 that can be used as a 1 wire or 3 wire. I currently have it set up for the one wire, so I could remove the voltage reg. I got the polished one and I'm not to happy with the quality of the polished job, but Powermaster makes a good alternator. |
