12 volt jeep system
Hi Little Jo,
Sorry for the slow response,had a few projects on the go and haven't been at the jeep yet.I managed to take pictures of the 12 volt system that was in my jeep.The lower alternator bracket was made up to bolt onto the original generator lower bracket and the upper bracket is just a metal link to the block.The alternator is an Autolite but could not find any more markings on it.There is also a seperate regulator on the fender but my Dad looked at it and figures it shouldn't be needed as it should already have one in the alternator but says to leave it there if it works.Maybe the alternators built in regulator didn't work and they added one on? Then everything goes to the solenoid.The coil is just mounted beside the distributor.
I hope this helps and if there is anything else I can help with,let me know.Good luck with the project.
Derk.
