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.

What alternator can you replace for the generator on a 1963 ford galaxie 500?
For a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500, you can replace the original generator with a 60-amp alternator, commonly sourced from a 1970s Ford vehicle. A popular choice is the Ford 1G series alternator, which can be easily adapted with a conversion kit that includes a bracket and necessary wiring. This upgrade provides improved electrical output and reliability while maintaining a vintage appearance. Make sure to use the appropriate voltage regulator for compatibility.
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.

Is the voltage regulator and generator together on a Cadillac 1993 STS if not where is the voltage regulator located?
On a 1993 Cadillac STS, the voltage regulator is integrated into the alternator rather than being a separate component. This means that the generator (alternator) and the voltage regulator work together as a single unit. If you're having issues with the voltage regulator, you would typically need to replace the entire alternator assembly.
