I'm thinking of changing from a generator to a alternator on my 1971 Farmall 140, any info here on the conversion.
(quoted from post at 10:33:52 07/06/16) Easy is what I am after
(quoted from post at 20:01:37 07/31/17) .
I put in a 30A weatherpacked fuse asm, between the alternator and the battery, also from ebay./quote]
What is this?
So is a 30 amp alternator big enough. I see on Steiner's they sell the 63amp for this
(quoted from post at 09:41:00 08/22/17) Hi, sorry, I see you asked twice.
I would put it just before the ignition I have listed on the diagram.
In other words, feed the 12v to one side of the resistor. In your picture that looks like the side with the yellow butt splice.
The other side would then be dropped down to 6vdc (+/-) and you can use this to feed the ignition coil. That's the voltage it would like to work at.
Being a resistor, it should work equally well both ways, so there's no worry about being on the "wrong" terminal. 12v in, and 6v out, no matter which way you wire.
I hope this answers your question.

How do I work this resistor into the wiring diagram?
