Double checking on alternators

[cobcob]

The alt in my Brat puked on the way in to work today. Fortunately I had my solar panel for re-charging the battery so I should be just fine to get home this evening. Of course this HAD to happen the day that I'm driving 500 miles after work (not in the Brat though)

I'm planning on pulling the alternator off my GL-10T wagon and putting it into the Brat. I've looked around on various auto parts websites and they give the same party number for the GL-10T alternator as for the Brat but I'm wanting to double check that it will work OK to do this swap?

I'll be doing it about 3am on Monday morning when I get back from the trip, need to have the Brat on the road for the trip to work 5 hours later. All things being equal it won't take me longer than about 10 mins to swap alternators over...

Thanks guys!

82 was a strange year for Brats.

 

you might want to make sure you do not

have the external voltage regulator

with the fuel pump control.

Thanks Skip... I'll double check on that. I know the alt that's in there was replaced less than 2 years ago with a reman one but other than that I'm not sure if it's internal or externally regulated

 

Just checked, it's internally regulated, there's a 2 wire plug and then the 3rd wire attached to the bolt/stud. on the back

Did the switch last night, all running great and no warning lights on the dash any more!
