OK guys here we go. I took my 1987 camaro with the mpfi 2.8 and switched to an old style carb'd 350. In the process I decided to go with vbelts. Since I cannot find the brackets needed to make my newer style ac delco alternator work (its the small one) I am going to have to go with the old style alternator. The real problem I'm having is figuring out how to wire this thing up. There is a different number of wires on the plug. I know this seems like an electronics thing, but it does relate to my engine swap too. If i can figure this out, all I'll have to do is figure out how to splice in my HEI distributor.

 

what nobody knows how to do this?

 

Go to the "Carburetor" board and look for a thread called something like "Carb'd engine pics"... there are two threads, look at both.

They both have excellent pixctures of how it should look when wired correctly.

 

you need only 2 of the wires from the original v6 alt. loom I belive one is brown and one is tan I can look in the morning and tellyou exactly with a pic. you will need the plug of the older style to wire into,
almost done with mine,

 

Sounds cool man. This is my first time to try converting a car this way. Most of my older cars were already set up like this. I guess it will be nice to know for the future

 

BTW I know what it is supposed to LOOK like, I know how to install an alternator, I just need to know which wires are which.
