Generator to Internal Regulated Alternator
Conversion for 1958 to 1962 GM Cars
1958 to 1962 GM cars came equipped with generators. We can modify the new forward lamp
harness (or the engine harness on Pontiac cars) you will be purchasing to accommodate a GM
internal regulated alternator. We will add the proper wires and leave out the unnecessary
wires, as required. Your new harness will retain a factory appearance. Installation is
easy, just get rid of the generator, install the new internal regulated alternator,
install the new horn relay and plug in the new harness. There is a $30.00 modification
charge for this converting the forward lamp harness (or engine harness on Pontiac cars)
and you will need to purchase a new horn relay
Part #

Note: By modifying your new forward lamp harness, your generator light or ammeter gauge will no longer function correctly; unless a modification is also made to the dash harness. If you are purchasing a new dash harness, we can modify the new dash harness, so that the light or gauge will continue to function correctly. The modification charge is an additional $75.00.
External Regulated Alternator
to Internal Regulated Alternator
Conversion for 1963 to 1972 GM Cars and Trucks
Most 1963 to 1972 GM cars and trucks came equipped with external regulated alternators.
You may wish to convert over to a GM internal regulated alternator, as they are
inexpensive and commonly available (external voltage regulators are becoming
hard-to-find). We can modify the new harness you will be purchasing (either the engine or
forward lamp harness, depending on year and model) to accommodate a GM internal regulated
alternator. We will add the proper wires and leave out the unnecessary wires, as required.
Your new harness will retain a factory appearance. Installation is easy, just get rid of
the external voltage regulator, install the new internal regulated alternator and plug in
the new harness. Your alternator light or ammeter gauge will continue to function
correctly. Just let us know when ordering, that you will be using an internally regulated
alternator. There is a $30.00 modification charge for this conversion.
