  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I thought it would be nice to have some Buick diagrams instead of chevy ones for the old style ext reg to the new SI style int reg alternators so i spent a couple of minutes in an image editing program and here we go.

    I'm putting it here before I post it online, please let me know if you think anything should be added, removed, or is incorrect. The links at bottom won't work until I publish it.

    wiring

    tim:
    u have too much spare time on your hands. diagrams look great!
    do u think u should add the other wires that also attach to the starter/solenoid terminals - ie for the headlights ?
    i installed a 2 wire alternator last summer but i bought the conversion kit (the adaptor to bypass the voltage regulator & the pigtail at the alternator . i did this in case i ever wanted to re-install the voltage regulator + alternator .

    Well I work odd shifts and sometimes after nightshifts I just can't sleep, so I play with this stuff. only took about 15 minutes anyway....

    The diagram at the top is the original and they have a seperate one for headlights etc...mostly I did it just to show the mod and make it easier to understand.

    Problem is, I'm such a fanatic that I will most likely never do the mod anyway!!LOL

    You see much improvement from the new setup??

    later

    alternator conversion

    timr:
    i changed the alternator because it was starting to squeal a little and since i had to adjust the voltage regulator, earlier last year, i decided that i might just as well perform the upgrade . i do not notice any signifigant changes with the two wire alternator, as i have no power windows or locks or seat . the only hardware besides the engine using the current is the 8 track player . i guess it give me more piece of mind using the newer hardware .
