Chevrolet Biscayne Forum : “what do I need to convert my chevy biscayne six cylinder charging system from a ...”

Hi shadowbachsir,

Unless you are adding accessories to the automobile it's not necessarily required, but often recommended by enthusiasts.

Hope this helps!

Looks like there aren't many mechanics on here.. just modifiers!

I did this on my '62.  You need to go to http://www.yearone.com or your favorite aftermarket shop like
http://www.jegs.com and look up a "1-wire alternator".

The hardest part of this swap is the mounting bracket.  My 1968's generator has the same housing as a alternator.
I bought the adapter for the wiring from Year One along with the 1-wire alternator.  EASY swap.

Email me if you have further questions.  Well worth doing as Generators don't charge at idle most of the time and
alternators do.
