Took #2 right side Alt to repair shop

[davo727]

The local alternator-starter repair guy seemed pretty confused by my alt. I tried to explain the isolated ground deal to him. He said he would take it apart monday and call me. He said he had an old army repair guy friend he would call about it.

Im not feeling too confident about this. I may end up just picking it back up.

Anybody know anything I should tell him to keep him from screwing it up? I dont want to get it back and blow out my elect system.

The only thing different is that the ground stud is isolated from the case by an insulating bushing. If they can't figure that out, bail!

OK , Thanks. Also do you know exactly where the #2 alternator relay is mounted and the diode for the #2 Alt field circuit?

Got it back and it works good. When I ran it the other alt- drivers side was squeeling like hell and it was that metal guard for the radiator hose was bent down too far and the top of the left belt was hitting it. Bent it back up and im good to go.

Making progress, Elec system seems pretty happy now . Even the volt gage works.
