What is the correct way to remove a 12V generator and replace with a 12V one wire alternator on a 1964 Ford Galaxie with a 289 V8?

Have done this many times in the past. Best advice. Find any Ford passenger car vehicle from 1965 up to 1970 with an alternator and a small block 289 or 302 engine as this will work. Use all the parts (brackets, wiring, etc.) from this vehicle. The brackets and equipment should just mount up (save all the fasteners when removing as you will need them) as long as the vehicles are similarly equipped. Note all the mounting holes on the engine as they will be the same. The dash gage and/or idiot light will also need to be exchanged. Note: the alternator needs a hot wire from the ignition switch where the generator did not. This can be checked by taking a steel screw driver and with the ignition switch in the on position, the alternator installed, it should magnetically slightly attract the screw driver. If you do not get 14 plus volts across the battery post connections (voltmeter) with the engine running, you have a wrong or bad electrical connection. Have the alternator checked first (free at most) at you local parts house before installing.

Where is the alternator fuse on a 2007 Saturn aura?
The 07 Saturn Aura does not have an alternator fuse, and technically it is a generator not an alternator. There is a large gauge wire from the generator to the starter, this is a fuseable link. Check for 12 vdc at the large terminal of the generator, if is missing check the terminal on the starter. If the starter has 12 vdc and the generator does not, the link is bad and must be replaced. DO NOT REPLACE the link with wire, a fuseable link must be used.
