How to convert your 1962 Thunderbird to an alternator. We recommend at least a 4 gauge wire, unless they have a really high output alternator, in which case they may look into a 1 gauge or even a battery cable (remember, the alternator puts out more amperage, and you need a bigger wire to run more amperage, better to go too big than too small.) the wire should attach to the positive terminal of the battery, or they can attach it to the positive terminal of the starter solenoid. For this, the customer needs to replace their old generator wire, and replace it with a larger wire. The second wire, which is not mentioned, is a wire from the bat terminal on the alternator to the battery. ![]() Doesnt look like you have a water pump to generator bracket so im not sure how the alternator would mount. I see you have passenger side coolant lines but looks like plenty of room. Alternators appeared, producing much more power at idle and low engine speeds. I will be changing mine over eventually but existing generator is working fine with starting and running power. The first of the 2 wires is the wire to the warning light, which is mentioned in the instructions (orange wire). 1955 T-birds had a 30-amp 6-volt gen that output 180 watts. Convert your original early sixties Galaxie from generator to alternator with this module! Once the module is installed according to the instructions included with the module, it becomes a 2 wire hookup. That’s how the electricity is directed out of the generator and to the rest of the car. Traditionally we have a pair of brushes that make contact with the bars. At the end of the armature we have a series of conductive bars. Can be used on all models of Ford generators. This creates electricity in the current generating windings mounted on the armature. ![]() This small module allows you to convert your original generator system to a more modern alternator.
