RE: Alternator

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

Ohmygawd you guys are killing me...I did the conversion and wrote up a 
document explaining how to do it, with pictures and diagrams even!  And 
it's free!!  Sheesh, how easily they forget, My Precious.

Go to 'http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/1641/' and at the
very 
top will be my "Generator to Alternator Conversion" file.  If you have 
troubles downloading it then I can email it to you if your email system 
accepts attachments.

You can put a Type I alternator in a Type III, but you will be
installing 
it in backwards AND it will require that you cut into the upper cooling 
tin.  Installing it in backwards is not a problem since an alternator 
generates regardless of its rotation.  Cutting into the cooling tin, of 
course, isn't the greatest of ideas...

Although I have heard of people fitting a Type 1 Alternator  to a T-3
Motor 
before, I just don't know what is involved.

Anyone on the list know???
