Look for wiring diagrams by Bob M. The GM one wire alternator is the best one to use. The cheapest one will do the job. My SA was already converted when I bought it. I Overhauled the charging system, rewired everything,(green wires=ignition, red=charging system, blue=lights, etc.) bought a new alternator, took it apart to paint it, re-worked the mounting situation, and it looks like it came from the factory that way!! Don't forget to change the coil. The starter will spin REAL FAST so dont engage it for more than a few seconds. Altenators have a "turn on" speed so you will have to rev up your engine until the needle shows "charging" and the "gen" light goes out, then you can idle back down and it will continue to charge.

If you read these pages very often you will find more problems changing to 12v than any other item discussed. Start with your cables making sure they are 1ga and all the way thru the system and clean starter and maybe new brushes and some lube and it will probably be a good starting engine and a lot simpler than buying a ALT,BELT,Mount for the ALT, then lite bulbs,and new battery that probably wont mount in your battery box then wiring CORRECTLY.

Usually 6 volt is OK for a Super C. If you want 12 volt, use a GM 12 volt alternator, ( with internal regulator) low amp, (maybe 35 Amp). The alternator will be negative ground. Ground the battery off the negative also.
