After the generator is removed, the alternator will have to be mounted where the pulley lines up with the generator belt perfectly. If the alternator does not have a built in regulator then a regulator will have to be installed. If the falcon is a 6 volt system then the starter and all lighting will have to be changed to 12 volts.
Well, for one thing it was the last year for the generator.
Because the alternator was introduced in mid year 1962 you will not find any mention of it in the 1962 Pontiac Chassis Manual, as they were printed prior to the model year.There is ,however, a section devoted to the introduction of the Delcotron Alternator in the Pontiac Craftsmen Service News, a publication specifically for Pontiac Dealership Mechanics,similar to the service bulletins in use today.Try to locate the (Pontiac Craftsmen Service News)No. 6-May,1962. In it you will find the wiring diagram on page 51 along with lots of other valuable Info on the Delcotron along with part numbers for it and the voltage regulator. These are available from Auto Literature dealers if you want to purchace one or I can email you a copy. Email me or call (651)451-7701. Nick
