What is the correct alternator for 1969 Chevelle with 350 engine?
For a 1969 Chevelle with a 350 engine, the correct alternator is typically a 10SI or 12SI model, which is a GM alternator that outputs between 37 to 63 amps, depending on the specific application and options. It's important to check if your vehicle has the original style or an upgraded electrical system, as this may affect the required amperage. Additionally, ensure you have the correct mounting brackets and wiring harnesses that match your vehicle's configuration. Always consult your owner's manual or a restoration guide for specific details related to your Chevelle.
1986 Chevrolet 350 V8 Alternator Can anyone tell you where the wires from the plug goes?
In 86 you they used either a 10si or 12si alt. regardless they are both wired and function the same, the terminal can go to the battery, on the plug you will find a red 10ga wire (located to your right ,holding tab up and the plug facing away from you) this wire can be hooked directly to the battery aswell. The other wire usually white 16/18 ga, is your voltage sensing wire and is hooked up through your ignition switch it then goes through a combination of a light and usually a resistor wired in parllel (used as a failsafe in case the light fails).This wire is used to excite the field to close the circuit turning the light off and start charging , with out the sensing wire with a light (as resistance) you end up with a hunk of copper and metal that does nothing.
